So, who all has a display case for their cameras?

<p>I will get one in the near future, but I worry that a display case is like hanging a sign saying "steal me".</p>

<p>I *have* been burgled and more than once. Most burglaries are a quick in-and-out to minimize risk to the criminal, but I guess the problem with having visible valuables that are hard to steal quickly would be the likelihood of a return visit by the same miscreants but with more tools.</p>

<p>I keep all my cameras and lenses locked in Peli Cases that are locked in a steel office cupboard, I don't want to make burglars think It's their birthday .</p>

<p>I display my collection in various ways. My main collection is in a large curio cabinet that has an electric fireplace below. The front of the cabinet has a large glass door that slides left or right to gain access. The shelves are glass, and the top shelf consists mostly of Zeiss Ikon/Voigtlander, the second displays Kodak/Retinas, third is bottom load Canon Rangefinders, lenses, viewfinders, and a lot of other misc. Canon accessories. The bottom has all sorts of misc. cameras & accessories. There is a light at the top of the unit, and when turned on in the evening the collection sparkles. I also have several medium/large format wood cameras on display along with family black/white photographs mounted in wood cut sheet film holds</p><div></div>

<p>Here is a photo of how I display some of my medium/large format cameras with black/white photos slid into the cut sheet film holders ,which make for an attractive table or desk display.</p><div></div>

<p>Ezio, wouldn't that UV make plastic parts of the cameras brittle? I understand the benefit of UV-C for killing fungus and germs. Unfortunately this makes any plastic brittle. As we don't have this radiation on earth plastics are not designed against it.</p>
