A few of my cameras

[mike_willis1]

I finally took some real quick photos of some of my cameras. I still have to

take pics of the F4's and F5's. As you will note, I originally started using

Canon back in the early 80's and then changed over to Nikon.

 

I know some of you like looking at gear shots, so I threw in some of my music

gear also.

"I know some of you like looking at gear shots..."

 

I think you meant DPReview.

Thanks for being here.

Hi Mike,

 

that's an impressive collection. On 'Animal Planet' they call people like that 'hoarders'...

 

If you had spent that dough on shares of those companies instead of on their products

you would have been a rich man now!

Thanks Mike, I enjoyed the journey back in time. I also used Canon (F1 and EFs) in the 70's and 80's. Loved the cameras, but a friend loaned me his Nikon and a great selection of lenses and I sold most of my Canon equipment and bought Nikon. I still have some of it.

Not "hoarders" --- "Collectors."

[mike_willis1]

Yes, but if I bought the stock of those companies instead of the cameras, I wouldn't of had the pleasure to hnadle those cameras, which just led to me taking more photos, therefore, it kept more of the photography industry going, not just the camera manufactures.

How do you possibly find time to shoot with all that stuff. And that's only SOME of your

guitars? How many do you get time to play? (The rig is SCARY big, too...)

 

Must have lots of space. I have 7 guitars and I thought THAT was a lot. (your guitar collection

is incomplete without one or two Andersons, don't you think?)

and I bet there has been more film through this camera then through all the cameras in your

collection combined!<div></div>

William John Smith: It's always good to see a man proud of an old friend. That is one of the best pictures I have seen here in a long time.

 

P.S. Welcome to photo.net. You clearly belong here!

Mike,

 

Seek help immediately. You have a near fatal case of NAS, I'm afraid. It's a miracle you're still breathing. Nice collection, BTW.

You are correct I need a few more Andersons, there is another 30+ guitars not shown. It's a real shame that Tom Anderson decided to let everyone go and become a one man business again. It will severely limit the amount of Anderson guitars out there. I believe Andersons are one of the best made guitars ever built.

 

William John Smith, looking at that camera, I may have to agree, you probably have put more film through it than all of mine together. Looking at that pic, I tend to think you are as one with that camera!

What model is that? One of the Nikkormats, I think, but I'm not sure which. It looks to have gotten the use it was made for.
