I'm still a collector.

[yashica1943]

I admit it, I sold most of my collection to a local dealer! I am still looking out for exceptional buys, but I just might not purchase them! I  still have a small collection, so I class myself as a collector.

The reason I sold is solely because of advancing years. If anything happened suddenly to me, disposal would have been a problem.

I have still kept some of the 'essentials' Leica 111f because it is something I lusted after for 60+ years , could never afford a M3, Olympus OM-1 because it is beautiful, Nikon FM2 because I use it. Rollop Richard Reflex because it has my name on it, Voigtlander Bessamatic because it is a real classic & produces excellent images reliably, Pentax S1a because it is such a complete classic. Voigtlander Vito B (small viewfinder) because it was where I started in 35mm about 64 years ago (not the same one, but identical.) And a Minolta 110 reflex, mark 2 because..........

I also kept a small collection of 1990's plastic bridge 35mm cameras, Chinon Genesis 3 Ricoh Mirai etc. as they are examples of 'design' good & eccentric.

Sorry, eBay, you could have made it easier............No more money from me.

I admit it. I am still a collector. Just bought a black Pentax K2 with a f1.4 lens no brassing - desirable. No More!
