Detlef,

Ausgezeihnet! Really amazing collection. I hope you have time to use at least some of them.

tom_cheshire · October 24, 2012

Just like me. Overloaded with equipment but never takes any photos.

chris_waller · October 24, 2012

And I thought I was going some with four F1s! :)

What can I say, sometimes we go overboard. :|<div>

Your collection brings memories. I had an opportunity to purchase a new OD F-1n back in 1981. I was in Japan visiting relatives and was shopping in a local department store. In the camera department, they had an OD F-1n on display. I remember at the exchange rate back then, it would have cost me $400, the same price as a new regular F-1n back in the US. But of course, I would have had to add customs duties to that which would have bumped the price (100%?). Customs had just started cracking down recently on overseas camera purchases. I remember I had to actually register my EF and FT bodies and lenses (including serial #s) at LAX when leaving the US. I had enough money to buy the OD F-1n but not pay the customs duty so I sadly had to decline buying the camera. I regret it to this day...

rick_janes · October 25, 2012

Detlef, your collection is excellent- and enviable! Is there a story behind your fascination with the F-1, and what

models might you still be lacking? I noticed that you also have all three versions of the Aspherical FD 55/1.2, that is cool by itself!

The Olive Drab F-1, Canon High Speed Motor Drive Camera (not officially called "F-1"), and its high speed New F-1

successor- those are ones I'd like to enjoy someday! The customized, chromed, dayglo snakeskinned versions,

mmmmmm...not so much! If ever I were to personalize something it might be refinishing a lens to match an ODF-1 body, black lenses on olive never looked quite right to me.

barryreid · October 28, 2012

Wow, that is an amazing collection. And there was me thinking I'd gone well OTT when I'd collected one of each A-series

as one of 13 FD bodies I had. Clearly that 's not even the beginnings of a collection!!!

flatulent1 · November 1, 2012

Ohhhhh, my God.....

jeff_livacich · November 5, 2012

Giving you GAS, Fred? Not surprising, seeing as how F-1 could be short for a moniker of yours.

flatulent1 · November 6, 2012

GAS has always been a problem for me. Show me some gear I don't have (yet) and I get itchy fingers. Looking at this has been painful, in that there is NO WAY I could acquire even a tenth of what is shown here. And really, I shouldn't even try. Detlef stands alone in what he has accomplished.

jeff_livacich · November 8, 2012

Yes, he's done it, so now you don't have to!

detlef_pr_fert · November 12, 2012

hi anyone !!!!!!

i seek a new owner for this collection. If possible complete.

i collect about 40 years to complete it still today !!!!!

i get 60 years next year and have nobody in my family who is interested in this collection.

i only want the money i self invested to get it !!!!!!

please mail me if you are interested or if you have a investor!!!!

this collection is too unique, to sell it as part for part !!!!!

thanks Detlef

james_turner6 · November 12, 2012

I am curious to know whether you have considered / investigated selling your collection through <a href="http://www.westlicht-auction.com/index.php?lang=default">Westlicht</a>, which would on the face of it be a natural place to attempt to sell your collection as a whole. Is there a reason not to do that?

(Aus reinem Neugier würde es mir interessieren, ob Sie daran gedacht haben, Ihre Sammlung durch Westlich versteigern zu lassen: man hätte gedacht, dass das ein natürlicher Verkaufsort für eine solche (ganze) Sammlung als ganze. Spricht 'was dagegen?)

rick_janes · November 12, 2012

I would love to see Canon Japan acquire your collection, as a corporate monument to lasting quality and the great

enthusiasm of its customers!

I would prefer it to be Canon UK! But I share the sentiment.

cadillacmike · January 17, 2013

Well Detlef, when you get discouraged, please do contact me here or on the Yahoo group about your Speedlite 500A outfit. I would definitely like to buy that. I already have too many F-1s, not as many as you have, but all the Olympic versions, plus the 3 main versions. and some backups / spares.

baris_bille · February 3, 2013

Detlef, contact Westlicht if you want to sell the entire lot.
