Vintage film cameras

Useful to see that. Looking forward to seeing the final version.
I've another week off work. Wait for a wet day and try to organise mine but the list won't be anywhere near as eclectic.

I'm back to work on Wednesday, got tomorrow and Monday to myself so hoping to get another rub done tomorrow. One tub is mostly slr cameras.

On my work PC so can't see your spreadsheet yet, I've got one as well, think there are a couple of dozen cameras but not got it to hand. I made notes on what I think I paid for them and value, and what needs doing to them. I even highlighted the lines where they are ready to shoot, as those ones are in the minority!

Going to try the Lomo 800 in a Pentax, hoping the cloud will go and do some shooting in the golden hour with the spawn and her Fuji digi. Tried taking a couple of pics of the Christmas tree with presents under it the other day. The flash seemed to go off before the shutter, seemed odd, then a day later (once all the presents had gone) realized the X/M switch had been knocked to M. I don't think f8 and 1/30 on ISO200 is going to produce much in not very good indoor light

Weather has been dry and warm but no sun. Doesn't really lend itself to photography, tried a bit today but not feeling it. Had a Kiev 4 and my dslr, but still couldn't get into it. Spreadsheet has more gear on, up to 123 input so far, many more to go.

Now up to 180 input. Still loads to go!

I've got 27, of which 7 are ready to shoot. 6 of the remaining ones need something more serious doing to them than a CLA. 6 of the easy ones are earmarked for sale. 180 is nuts!

I think its going to be at least 250. Now I've started to inventory the collection I really realise how overboard I have gone, and probably how much money I have spent. Ive probably got enough to use one a month for the next twenty years. I've even come across cameras that are loaded but still set to the first frame.

I don't think I'll be anywhere near 3 figures, phew!
I had a look in my Minolta box today and found all this. I've tried out 6 of the 12 and liked them all.
It's the amount of glass that worries me more than the cameras. Quite a bit of overlap but I don't know if I can bear to part with any of it until it's been used and tested on a camera.

Nice collection there, I think it was you who got me on to Minolta, I may have overlooked them otherwise! Up to 270 input now, still more to go but not many thankfully. I did find a Pentax Auto 110 with a 18mm lens on it, not the panning one unfortunately, at least this saves me trying to track one down. I do have a couple of Minolta models missing lenses, the XG-E, X300 and X-500.

Yikes. I'm an amateur compared to you guys.
