I've given a few away as well. There have been a couple of cameras that I have sold, then some time later, purchased another just like it because I missed shooting them. Probably the only camera I have gone a little crazy over is the Nikon F2. I have six right now plus a few bodies I keep for parts.<br /><br />Your camera list along the right rail of the blog is impressive!JR Smithhttp://www.fogdog-photography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-74511073040202883622016-08-20T12:34:13.611-06:002016-08-20T12:34:13.611-06:00I reached the point of too many about two years ag...I reached the point of too many about two years ago. I live in a 1400 SF brick ranch built in the 1960s; typical of the period it lacks storage space. My favorite cameras are on the fireplace mantel and on a particular bookshelf, plus a few other places here and there. The rest are in rollaway plastic boxes under my bed, and in the drawers of my side tables that flank the family room couch.<br /><br />I've given away all the cameras people wanted to take, and am selling the rest on eBay. I'm whittling it down to the ones I'm likely to use again, and a handful to which I've developed an emotional attachment even though I'll never shoot them (my No. 3A Autographic Kodak, for example).<br /><br />The upside of selling these cameras is that the income has almost entirely funded my film processing all year.Jim Greyhttp://blog.jimgrey.netnoreply@blogger.com
