w/nw Your Kit
I got bored at work and made some pics of the pieces of my kit I had with me.
In the pics are:
Bessa-R with CV 35/2.5
Summicron LTM Collapsible 50/2.0
Fed-2 with I-26 50/2.8
Post your kit, It'll be fun.

Here are the cameras I use all the time. I have been moving away from 35mm format film, but am staying with medium format. They are:
RD1 Brand new with Vgt 28mm 1.9
Panasonic LX1 (This is the same camera as the Dlux 2 except it is $400 cheaper)
Mamiya 6 with 50 MM 4

A question: How do you all take care of your lenses? I'm struggling with trying to stuff all my lenses into a 50cm x 30cm x 30cm airtight container, as it is.

I leave mine rolling around on the floor, in dresser drawers, on top of the tv, in camera bags, under the seat of my car, etc. Ask Cap'n Slack, he's seen my treasure trove of crap.
I'm guessing I'm somewhere north of 150 bodies now, I have no idea how many lenses I might have. I'm not rich, these are all cheap.
Best Regards,
Bill Mattocks

Bill . . . . I'm avoiding blasphemy.
You know, I'd be there too, if it weren't for financial restraints.
Must be a pain just keeping mind of all that gear.
I am monoCAMERAmous with the Bronica against my will.

I'm thinking of tracking all down, shining it up and putting it on eBoy, with the hope of selling everything and buying ONE good M6 w/Summicron. I hear good things about them...
I'd have to keep my *ist DS of course. And the Bessa R. Oh my Fujica G690. And the Olympus 35 RD and RC and XA. The Agfa Karat IV's (all four of them). The Bronica C's. Well, maybe I could let the Bronica's go. Have to keep my Yashica Lynx's.
Um, well...on second thought...
I wonder if I can trade 19 non-functional Super Paxette bodies and a couple of Brownies for an M6? Prolly not.
Better just leave well enough alone, then.
Best Regards,
Bill Mattocks

No lie: I showed my that picture just before the mail man rang the bell.

Not a picture of everything I own in the way of photo gear, but a picture of my most recent acquisition, a 'cord Vb, taken with--gasp!--a digital camera. Believe it or not, I actually did take some pictures with the old-timer and developed the film, but I have not made prints.

Just shot this outside with a cruddy digicam (not my digicam). See the first pic for evidence of how much multicoated filters really do cut down reflection. One lens has a cheap Tiffen on it. The others are B+W multicoateds.

Pretty camera, I must admit. Looks like you still need the 135/4.5 though 
Just got a B+W UV for my collapsible Summicron today. Makes me feel much more comfortable running around with it It's already got enough marks in it's 60 years...

No, to be honest, I'm just an idiot. Really, it sounds like I'm bragging - whoa, check me out, I've got 150+ cameras! But really, most of them were $5 wonders that no one else bid on and I thought maybe I could coax back to life. Some I did, some I didn't. I do shoot with a lot of them, though - it's fun to see what they can - or can't do. And with the classic fixed-lens rangefinders, when someone says the GSN has a better lens than the Canonet, I'd like to know if that's true - at least on my copies of those two cameras (it is). Like my penchant for chasing down rumors by calling up camera companies - I like to actually try things out, and with ancient fixed-lens and some removable lens cameras so cheap...well, it just got kinda fuzzy about that time.
Sad state of affairs. The whole shootin' match is worth less than some of the fine single cameras ya'll have been showing. My *ist DS and Bessa R are the most expensive of the lot, and by far.
Best Regards,
Bill Mattocks
