So I had to temporary move my camera stuff up for the basement whilst I redecorate it, putting it all on a make shift table I realized it may of gotten out of hand, although, after further consideration I then realized I needed another 3 cameras smile







The Hassleblad Xpan, Mamiya 7 and some kind of 645 medium format camera would complete my 'collection' (I'm not a collector though smile each camera has its own unique quality, with the exception of maybe that I might sell)


Anyone else out there with a 'few' cameras ?

Not everything by a long shot.

The Agfa and Eumig Cine were my Dad's. The Kodak Instamatic was my first camera moving onto the Yashica rangefinder, then the FXD. Recently swapped my D850 and D7200 for the Sony A7iv and the FX6 is a reasonably new arrival.

What's remarkable is that everything you see here still works. Apart from the D80 which is/was my daughter's camera.

I love all the new stuff but just getting the older stuff out of the cupboard and firing the shutter on the rangefinder reminded me just how pleasing mechanical photography was.

Both my Minoltas were given to me by my dad, the X300 at 14 years old , which is what really got me into the hobby, and the 7000 (first SLR autofocus camera i believe) was when i was in Australia and wanted a large zoom so he sent it across to me, sadly the 7000 is now a brick, but i just had my X300 CLA'd (not that it was worth it financially)and its working like new, love it!
And so i just bought one of my 'missing' 3 cameras, the Hasselblad XPAN, well the fuji equiv, TX-1.
looking forward to it being delivered and played with!

Just 2 cameras to go now, well, then there the possibility of venturing into large format of course.
