How Many Cameras do you Own?

[Danmunro_nz]

Canon EOS 1000D, Canon EOS 3000V, Pentax K1000, Olympus OM10, Olympus Trip 35 are my cameras. Favourite would have to the Trip. I just love the incredible photos that simple little camera can make.

I have all the cameras I need
I do not have all the cameras I want.

I never counted but my daughter did and said she stopped at 150. I have sold 2 though.

You need some TLR's in that collection.

I know, but they're so damn expensive.

you can actually get a working tlr for under 200 if you look in the right places. I'm not sure about Devon, but in downtown Phoenix, AZ there are a million Pawn shops which is where I found my C33. If you enjoy shooting 120 It is definitely a must have.

I agree, especially when you consider that the Lubitel is astonishingly good for a plastic box. And I'm not talking about the pimped out new version that Lomography is selling for ~$350. An original one can be had for cheap. I think mine was even less than $100 all cleaned up and ready to go.

As for me, I've got a relatively minor case of G.A.S. compared to some of y'all, and I'm starting to feel like I have a bit of an oddball collection:
Pentax K1000 and Spotmatic (7 lenses between the two)
Zorki 6
Olympus 35RC
Lubitel 166B
Mamiya 645 Pro TL (2 lenses)

I suppose I do have a digital. Canon 130 IS. I've had this photography habit for 20 years and have only had the Canon for...maybe 4 years? I can't afford even an entry level dslr at this point and it's not really a priority so I imagine it will be quite a while before I ever get one.

Edited out of horror at forgetting that I also have a Polaroid Land Camera Automatic 100 and have actually been using it quite a bit lately.

I tis just a reality check to realize that some people have so many cameras.
I have 3
a Nikon D 600 and a Nikon D90 that I bought and a Nikon coolpix 8700 that was just given to me.

Wife: 13. Me: 3. How many do we USE? Well, the two DSLRs (Sony and Olympus), her old Kodak No. 1 Junior, my Olympus OM-1n, and a Flash Bantam. All but 4 should function, and of those 4, two need a CLA, and two have shutter problems.

I'm about to debut a new (to me) camera today. It's an Argus Argoflex Seventy-five that came in a box o' cameras I bought from a fellow TPF member. I cleaned it up, flipped the lens, and loaded some Acros 100. I was going to start shooting yesterday but the monsoon sort of put the kibosh on that. Sun's out today, though

Also in that box came:
Polaroid J66
Polaroid Color Pack 3
Kodak Tourist
Brownie Holiday
Brownie...oops, can't remember the name but it's a funky little Brownie TLR.

The two Brownies take 127 film, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them. I'm going to experiment with paper negatives in the J66. The Color Pack takes Fuji pack film and I'm converting it into a pinhole. And the Kodak will get cleaned up and brought out to play when I get a chance.

My daily users are a Canon 5D and a Canon 40D.

My collection numbers around, probably, 25 or so. I'll be unpacking them over the course of the next few days here in the new abode, so I'll get a better idea...

I'm now down to just 4 plate cameras. A 5x4 Tailboard (circa 1883), one half-plate (circa 1890), one 5x7 (circa 1911), and an 8x10 (circa 1907). I use plates, film and paper in each, and print all my own work. That's it for traditional apparatus. One more camera that I'd like to add to this lot is a 16x20 plate camera. But because of rarity, I may have to fabricate that one myself.
