Guilty of picking these up when I find them cheap enough. I have somewhere around 24 of the digital point 'n shoot variety as well as assorted cards for image storage. Still have a couple of foil card type too. Not even sure what those were called.

With the passing of Randy, Reijo, Peter Wallage and departure of folks like Ron Herron etc. I just sort of fell off the map myself. In discussion with a fellow at KEH camera to possibly purchase a few of my hoard as I just don't get out to use them as often as I did when I had both functional knees and developing was cheap. Since my knee replacement went awry I have a difficult time doing all the photography I enjoyed so much. Anyhow please accept my apologies and I'll try and show up more often.

Wow, how could I have missed this? Been away far too long and now I hear of Randy's passing. So very sorry to be so late and condolences to the family. You'll be missed Randy.

Sold almost all my film on Facebook film for sale site. Found out I had 1485 rolls of 35mm, 52 rolls of 120, a couple 110 and a Kodak Instant Print film all in my basement freezer. All expired but I still cleared $1500 so not too bad. Just a few rolls of 35mm as well as 110 left now. Till my next big find, LOL.

I have somewhere in the neighbourhood of 43 Zenits, 4 Start SLRs, a Kristall, many FEDs, Zorkis, Mir, Smenas, Lubitels and lenses of all sorts, both M39 and M42. Bought the M39-42 adapters too. Love the Russian stuff. That said I've scrapped at least a dozen Zenits because I could never fix them. I'm a huge Praktica guy too.

No collection is complete without a Panda and a Nomad. Don't have a Trolix yet though.

The new McKeown's Camera Guide should be coming out soon. First time in years. Should be around $300+ for a Hard Cover version or around $100+ for an on-line version you can access. Too rich for my blood either way.

I have 25 digital point and shoots but no SLRs yet. Just every sort of oldie appeals to me.

Not sure even how to post photos here any more. My last few tries failed many times so I gave up. I have several dozen from the early 1920's as well that came filled with glass plate negatives from Minnesota that I'm currently having scanned to disk to share on Facebook.

Awesome Zenit 4. I believe at last count I had 43 Zenits and 4 Starts and a Kristall. Even have 2 M39 adapters to use M39 lenses on my Starts.

It takes a real craftsman to work on these. Something I'm not capable of so I applaud your efforts. I managed to strip down 6 or 8 Zenits and a couple old Prakticas but even then I lost most of the parts as I lost interest. Great cameras though.
