Did a quick (?) count. 153 cameras and 364 lens (no, I'm not going to list them, so you can inhale now ). Lots of different manufacturers, but mostly Mamiya (you expected something else from me?). I may have missed a few that are packed away.... No wonder my wife gets so upset when she sees a new "box" arrive. Gotta start thinning this herd!

If you don't know what we do with it then you need to send me every camera and lens you own so I can use the poor things! Obviously I don't use all of my gear as often as I'd like but I do manage to take pictures. My grandchildren are coming to visit this weekend for about a week so I'll be taking lots of pictures of them. Walker

I'm in the process of deciding which ones to let go, which to keep, which seemed to work fine the last time I used them and which need a little TLC. Also building a few more shelves both in my computer room and my basement rec room. And yep, once in a while lately I actually get to use some of them.

I use cameras all the time, but they are tending to be the same ones now. The others I just caress from time-to-time...or dust.

Today's users will be my Vivitar 220/SL, Minolta SRT Super w/no name 28-80, Minolta SRT 101 w/Kiron 80-200 f4.5 (gotta finish that one roll), Tower 10B (RF), and Taron Eyemax (RF). They all need exercise, (me too) and there are only so many sunny days off. Dusting cameras? What's that, LOL? Never seem to keep up but I do my best. Today I'm also checking into having a roll of found film from a 1946 DAN 35 model 1 developed. (35 mm paper backed "Bolta" sized film). Should have some interesting pictures I hope and I'm going to try to run a roll (hand wound) thru the camera soon. (after I tape over the red counter window).
