sometimes i think too many. but i like them all and i promises myself that i won't get more (will see about that 😉). digital + film together, probably 20 🙈
I keep telling myself that I won't buy more... I do have some ideas for using my newest film cameras in some artistic (and hopefully sellable) endeavours. I'd love to have that Yashica.
I like the hands-on comparison pointing out the differences and the shooting experience. Not a typical gear review. I am also curious as to how each camera feels and responds, and they lend to the overall photography experience. I have collected over a hundred, thinking I will try them all. Hope I live that long LOL
yashica feels like an extension of my hand that's how it feels, no wonder is my favourite. i have only positive words for it. voigtlander has some limitation but it's a joy and produce quality photos. the fed is not necessary user friendly, the quality of the photos is not the top but i like it because it presents a challenge
Very interesting that the FED has a 55 mil....do you know who it was geared toward? By the way, you have me beat by number of cameras, but not by much! Also, I loved your joke!
back then there weren't social classes in rusia (at least not officially) so the destination of the camera was normal ordinary people who liked photography. it was also a time when rusia heavily competed with the west so they tried to produce something similar with western products. one of the camera made in rusia was the "smena", so popular that i think it reach every country in the comunist block of eastern europe.
happy to hear that you like the joke. when i read paul's comment with a collection of over 100 cameras ... well, we are surpassed by far 😊
How many cameras do you own?

*promised (typo)
That’s not too bad.
f/1.8 on a 1960s camera? That's quite something!
yes, it is. and it's awesome 😊
Love old cameras! Wonderful collection you have!
thank you!

i have a bronica myself and yes, it's heavy, not really the favourite to carry around the neck walking in the city but good for studio work
the yashica lynx 5000 is awesome, i wouldn't swap it for a leica from same era!
For some reason, the joke, even if it was a stupid joke, made me chuckle. :) So, thank you!
I am so thankful for people like you who are all about camera gear and comparing cameras etc.
It helps me to get a good sense of the cameras without figuring out all these things by myself.
So, once again, thank you!
it made you chuckle? great, that makes me happy! 😊

Love the regular introduction to cameras I am unfamiliar with. Always learn something new with your camera discussions. Also I liked the joke😃
