OK, maybe I have a problem!!!

I am new to the forum, but have been a professional photographer with my wife for 30 years. I bought my first antique camera 20 years ago, a like new Kodak 2A Folding Cartridge Premo. At that point,I was hooked. After years of picking up cameras wherever I could find them, the cost of acquiring the cameras I liked was getting a bit pricey. I then came across some of the novelty cameras out there and could pick them up  pretty reasonably. The last several years, I got hooked on the can cameras and every time I think I have a good chunk of them, I find new ones I've never seen. I guess I will be looking for another 20 years. Here are some pics of my first and favorite cameras. Enjoy.

Very nice collection. I have three of the cans too.

What a terrible affliction.
My deepest sympathy.

But it is comforting for me to know I am not alone.

Hi, People.

Did you know that photography is all about pictures?

How about showing us some of your recent acquisitions
or even your older stuff so we can drool over them.

Or anything at all to which you take a fancy.

Come on. Warm up your trigger finger and take some shots. Please!

The can cameras are amazing! such a great novelty.
Which country / city do you live in?
I've noticed a lot more of these popping up on eBay Australia lately - not exactly cheap but expensive either.
