WOW! and I thought that I had problems with my wife and my collection. These collections make me feel small. I have never counted mine, but counting all the diff. types, including 4 or 5 poloroids, that I have been given when friends hear that I collect cameras. I must have 80 to 100 examples. When I have time I will list them also. johnw

I'm still trying not to go on Evilbay and bid on more cameras! I've been looking, but it seems cameras are still going for higher prices than they were earlier this year. I'm still watching for an affordable SRT Super.

Randy,
So you, too, have notice the increased goings on Evil Bay. I mentioned in an earlier post how I quit bidding on a Pentax M42 Takumar 28/3.5 when it hit $86. Then, one that I was not bidding on went for $40...I had not even seen that one in the listing until too late. I have my eye now on Takumar 35/3.5 which different people have stated is a good lens; will see what happens there.
The SRT Super you mention...isn't that the Asian version of the 102???

Ron Head Kalamazoo, MI Yes, I have one of every model except for the SRT Super. The collection will be complete, and then I can move on to getting every Spotmatic model. I only have to get an SPII and an SP1000 to do that.

I note you quote, "old camera user" below your avatar.
But what we can see of you in the pic looks rather youthfull. You apparently use old cameras...!
Oh boy...a poor joke...but see what camera collecting can do to ya! ;D ;D
WELCOME!!
