Collections

[Philmar]

Well, we are all not obsessed with just collecting. Many of us shoot/process film so many of these cameras are usable tools (or so we say to ourselves) ...

Oh. the lure of the chemicals. I forgot how sweet they smelled

 

[sniper x]

Please do. Im mostly looking for 60s 70s rangefinders..

The only ones that I have to let go that fits your time period is the QL17 (with the separation) ... ah, and the light meter is not working (not exactly sure why ... I should recheck the wiring).
Other than that is a Retina II, Baldinette, Rolleicord, a Primo-Jr, and a Bessa 46 ... hmm, I stopped putting my cameras up in the Buy & Sell as nobody wanted them.

F3HP case finaly back from a 6 month spa. Came back like new! Works great again! Had huge trouble witv faulty light metering in A. 400 bucks (Swiss Francs) but worth the price. Ready for the next 30 years! Work done by Classic Camera Repair www.camera-service.ch . Nikon does no service for the F3 anymore.View attachment 142413View attachment 142414

This is my all time favorite Nikon camera! Compact and powerful. Shot so very many photos with it.
I sold it 15 years ago and purchased a FM2n to have a full manual Nikon as a useable keep sake, and kept a few of my favorite lens for it...20 2.8, 35 1.4, 180 2.8. I should have kept the 85 1.4 too.

Seems like it's the done thing to post a list of cameras in one's collection. Here is my list of usable film cameras (my list of unusable junk is somewhat larger):

• AGI Agimatic
• Beauty 35
• Beauty Canter
• Foca Sport
• Fujica ST701
• Ilford Advocate
• Mamiya /Sekor 500TL
• Minolta SR-1
• Minolta X300
• Minolta Dynax 4
• Miranda DR2
• Pentax Spotmatic F
• Nikomat FT2
• Oshiro Emi-K
• Petri Color 2.8
• Petri Penta
• Walz Envoy M-35
• Yamato Pax M3
• Yashica YK
• Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16
• Zeiss Ikon Contina 1a
• Zeiss Ikon Contessa

Of these, my favourites would be the Nikomat and the Fujica

And not forgetting the digitals (although where the cut-off is for these is debatable - do I include my Nikon D70s as a 'collectable' or is it just an old camera?):

• Agfa ePhoto 780
• Casio QV-700
• JVC GC-S5
• Kodak DC200
• Kodak DC240
• Kodak DC25
• Nikon Coolpix 2000
• Sony Mavica FD7

Of course my favourite digital would be the Sony - who can resist the sound of an image being written to a floppy disk...

Most are however somewhat more conventional.
