Dan, I've lusted after a IIIg Leica for the longest time. The prices they bring are almost obscene and leave me out. Maybe one of these days I'll hit the lotto........  Walker |

I know it wasn't an earth shaking/ life altering camera, but I wish I hadn't pawned my Chinon Genesis all those years ago. It was a fun camera to shoot with, and virtually idiot-proof.

Pentax K1000
This was my first SLR and I had more fun with this camera (and learned more from) than any other camera I've had.

My red Konica Pop (stop laughing at the back) I lent it to my son and never got it back -an excellent go anywhere shooter. My original Kodak Instamatic which I brought in 1967 to go on holiday with- £6 10 6d complete with film and three flashcubes and strap- I still have the slides. Happy Days Chris  |

Here are a couple of bad pictures of my much lamented Leicas. I have better photos somewhere but I put them away for safekeeping. You know how that goes. |

I could tell you about the rifles/pistols that I lament selling but I never made that mistake with cameras so far. Selling a IIIg would make me weep you have my sympathy.

Dan
Well if we are naming names here is a quick list I wish I could forget
Belgium Browning 3006 safari
Belgium Browning T-2
Belgium Browning Auto 22 , the take down one
Browning B78 7mm mag
A half dozen 1950's BRNO small ring Mauser sporters
Modern BRNO ZKK 602 in 375 H&H
Winchester pre 64 model 70 338 mag Alaskan
Long Branch manufactured FN C1A1 8L series
Broomhandle Mauser with shoulder stock
Inglis Browning 9mm HP with shoulder stock
Browning Medalist 22
357 Colt Python
45ACP AMT stainless steel Hardballer
S&W Model 41

I can almost write those down without cringing after 20 years. Maybe that is why I like a smooth working mechanical camera. I''m sure I missed a few too.

Nice Weapons, sounds like we need a "Gun" Forum.
Don't get me started on motorcycles, I had fifteen of them and at 68 years old I'd love to have another 650 Vertical Twin like a Triumph, BSA or Norton.

Dan,
Old motorcycles are just like old cameras... there are plenty that need good homes.
I removed the rods from my '73 Norton's crankshaft this evening and was amazed to see that the rod bearings I installed 50,000 miles ago in 1984 looked like they only had 100 miles on them.
My secret plan is to renew the bearings and rings ... then when it needs to be done again, I'll be dead and someone else will be stuck with fixing it!
I just wish I was as good at fixing cameras as I am at fixing motorcycles... I'd go to school at age 60 to learn how to do a proper job... if there were someplace to go.
I was visiting friends at Christmas and they marveled that I still used a film camera... welllll.. they said " here: do you want these, we don't".. so came home with a cardboard box with 5 Nikon lenses (they couldn't remember where the body was), a Rolleiflex 3.5e TLR with sheet film adapter, a functional Olympus Om77AF, and a 1936 Kodak Model 20 8mm camera (and the original projector that went with it)... I guess you are getting old when the stuff you could never afford as a young man is going to the church charity sale if you won't take it.
Orlin 'maybe I should go digital' in SC/USA..

Ace,
They may come across that Nikon body one of these days.
Nortons are great bikes, never owned one but would sure love to have one now.
The Norton Atlas 750 was a great one and the 650 twin was very fast.
