All this talk about what cameras to get lately reminded me that I needed to update my photos of my camera collection for insurance purposes. I have to record all the serial numbers too. yipee...that's going to be fun. The photos, I upload online because if the house burns, my computers will probably burn too so having them on just a harddrive is useless. So, since I uploaded them to my rtb album...figured I'd show off my collection a bit.
This is most of them. I have a few more including obviously what I took these photos with (Olympus camedia D-550). This is all I use regularly though...aside from the shelf relics. All of the 35mm stuff and the Digital SLR, I consider one system. All of the bodies, flashes and lenses are totally interchangeable though the flash shoe for the Nikon F3 is unique to that model, there are adaptors so if I really wanted to, I could use the SB16a flash on the other cameras.
This is how I store them
Mamiya 645 Medium format camera with 150 and 80mm lenses. Uses 120 or 220 film.
Nikon D100 with MB-D100 battery grip - Digital SLR
35mm cameras...Nikon N90s with mb10 battery grip, 8008, FE with MD12 motor drive, F3hp with MD-4 Motordrive...and lots of lenses.
Flashes...Nikon Speedlights, SB16A for F3, SB600 and SB-50DX and Sunpak 333. I use the Sunpak on the Mamiya 645 and my old Nikkormat or anything that doesn't use Nikon TTL Dedicated speedlight.
And then...sometimes you just gotta go old school. Nothing auto anything...all manual Nikkormat FT2. This camera is a good bit older than most of the members of this site but still plugging along and really...not even broken in good yet.
Of course there has to be a small collection of relics. All of these cameras actually still work but other than the old Canon rangefinder and Yashica TL Electro 35mms, they don't make film for them anymore.
Yeah, I'm a camera packrat. But you should see my studio and darkroom crap
