The Zorki 4 is a beautiful camera. I just finished a roll of 100 TMAX in mine.
What year is the one you bought? Mine is from 1957.

Mine is a 1970, so relatively young as they go. It looks lovely and it'll be my first interchangeable lens rangefinder, which I'm excited about. I want one of those fancy turret finders.
Also looking forward to being looked down on by Leica users in the same way that old men like to point out that 'I always used Nikons myself' when they see my SPF

Ya, it is tough to keep using all of them

Somebody mentioned the Z4? This is my 4k from 1977:



Unfortunately not having parallax compensation at close range it might create some composition problems, however it's a serious camera, even if I prefer the feel and look of the Zorki 6.



If you're good at guessing the exposure it can make good pics too!

Hi, my name is Colton, and I have a problem.

Allow me to help...I hate to see these kinds of problems. I'll go out of my way and let you send me the 67. NOW, NOW don't thank me...It's the least I can do considering the size of this dilemma.

Actually you may notice the list is chronological.
I hope this link to my album will show SOME of the cameras.




This link is just cameras.

[Nuff]

I have just cut down my collection to 2 cameras, I even sold my Pentax K5.
1 x Hasselblad 501c with 80mm (99.9% used) and 150mm lenses, I also have 3 backs.
1 x Leica M3 with Summilux 50/1.4 (colour) and Summarit 50/1.5 (B&W).

I'm tempted by other cameras, like Rolleiflex, Pentax 67 etc, but Iwill not cave in, for some time at least.

Later down the track I might get another Leica body with 0.72 finder and 35mm lens. This way I can have one body and lens for colour and another for BW.

The above setup might seem expensive, but it was a lot less than all my other lenses and bodies which didn't see any use. Now I have more cash for film.

[JuanEstrada]

I have a Pentax LX, Pentax MX, Pentax KX, Pentax K2, Olympus om2n Olympus om3 Olympus om4t, Nikon f3.


And regarding arnolds collection, I thought "how did this guy made that list" and then figured out that he must have the list in a .txt or a word document and then add a new item everytime he purchase or gets something new.

I like that your list finishes with a blank #90.

Thats like having a Camera per shutter click or something!

This seems like a good place to get some advice:

How do you get rid of things that are
- not used and not wanted
- not worth enough to bother selling piece by piece (pictures, descriptions, shipping,... all way too much work)
- not useless enough to just throw away
???

Gladly, as long as you pay the shipping costs (DHL without tracking: 16.60€).
