I was wondering how many cameras in your collection.
Mine hasn't that many
21 that are in full working condition.
5 that are NOT!.. Russian sold as working.. okay would have once worked.
1 50% refurbished.
4 home made.

Col. including all odds and sods probably around 50. I've tended to think of them as an accumulation rather than a collection.
p.s. wait for the others - several hundred for some of them I think.

I was chatting with a guy the other day who has several hundred....When I told SHMBO... Her answer was... "Don't even think about it!!!!" But reckon I could push the tally up a tad

Thanks col, Most of my cameras are Zeiss Ikon - now shooting with a Contaflex Super B. Due to my sons occupation with canon (see - he is actually studying engineering at the Delft university (I hope:-) but has taken up a passion for photography - also a fair amount of Canon gear. Hans. |

Hi Col !
My collection includes approximately 2.300 cameras, about 98 percent in working condition.
A nightmare for each wife ;D.

I currently have 26 with #27 in the post as I type - a Voigtlander Vito BL. I would like to get all the models based on the Vito B; this new one makes four of them. Most of the rest of my collection are Zeiss Ikon, but not entirely.
All are working. While I do not use all of them, I like to think I could.

At one point a couple of years ago, I had maybe 250 or so. Approx. 75% working. After being forced to sell off most of them, I might be down to 50, most of which work. My situation has improved, so I'm collecting again  Doug |

I have 510 in my display room and at least another 150 or so packed up. I would estimate that at least 90% of them would work. Of course lots of them use film types that are no longer available. I have over 50 models of digital.

Something over 250.
Most are working.
I rarely buy additions any more.

I usually avoid this as on Flickr I've been trolled for posting too many of mine but...I stopped counting at 2000. Used to say that about 95% worked but I find more that need help every time I fix one. Tried to stick to SLRs but I gave that up at 500+, now I mainly buy locally instead of eBay.

Right now I am at 18 (two not working), and I might be in line for some additions if things work out.
