Hello, my name is Richard and I have just joined this group. I collect cameras of all types and have over a Hundred of different types. I still use film, usually 120 in my Yashica 635 or 35mm in my Pentax P50 or Pentax SP 500. I would be interested to know if other members use their cameras or just display them. I do try to use my cameras if possible but the availability of film doesn't always allow this.

Welcome, Richard.
I do not display my cameras at all in the interests of marital harmony. I do use them all as fast as I can afford the film. I have an advantage over others here in that I only have 40-odd cameras. When you have hundreds using them is no longer practicable.

Mickey Welcome, Richard. The C.C. is your kind of place.

HI Richard, welcome aboard. I have about 100 cameras, a small collection. About half are on display at any one time. I use film as much as possible and always take a film camera on days out. Feel free to look through the old posts and comment on them. We are a small community with an even smaller bunch of members looking at it regularly, so don't be disheartened if it takes a day or two to reply to your posts. Where are you? Check this out, it may help you post photos on the forum cameracollector.proboards.com/thread/8805/beginners-post-photos-on-forumPhil (middle name Richard) Birch

I would be interested to know if other members use their cameras or just display them. Welcome aboard! I present a third option, use our cameras and display them as they are a sight to behold . . . Taken with one of my many film cameras - in this case another Pentax LX, using Kodak TMAX100 processed and scanned at home.

Welcome Richard,
Here (NL) also about 100+ cameras, all working. Only 4 digital; at the moment 2 loaded with film: a Praktica BX20S and an EOS1n... And about to test an Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex III with a over-due film to test the spacing.
ciao, Hans
