Nice collection, any favorits?
I shoot a lot with my Voigtlander Perkeo, its small, pocketable and sharp. Although I do quite like the Yashicamat too.

More pics. Get those post counts up!

I find myself strangely attracted to fixed lens rangefinders...

When it comes to cameras, some of us are minimalists, and some of us are collectors.

How many film cameras do you have, and are all of them functional?
Three functional and one point and shoot hanging on by a thread.

Around 130 of which about 20 need service. Too many duplicates, and I need to get rid of some.

It's the original XA, which was a rangefinder. The other XAs were viewfinders with zone focusing and slower lenses.

I've never been a collecter, so I've only got the ones I've used and retired (more or less) but can't bear to sell because of all the memories they hold - namely 67, a 67ii and an LX ( the latter needing a bit of repair).

[My other film cameras were an ME super which fell victim to rust after an accidental dunking, a SFXn, which just got shabby from use and a (P)Z-1 whose autowind disintegrated.]

OK thank you. Nice collection of rangefinders.

I have 6 Asahiflex cameras, 65 Pentax 35mm and 2 Pentax 645 film cameras in my collection. It all started with a K1000 I bought new in 1977.
Most are in operational condition. Three of the cameras are NOS/NIB: Electro-Spotmatic, K1000 Anniversary Edition, MZ-3 Special Edition.

The cameras I shoot with regularly are: SV, ES-II, K2, K1000-SE, MZ-S

The latest camera I have added to the collection is a Black Pentax AP with an all black Takumar 58mm/f2.0 lens, both in mint condition.
I found the pair on Ebay yesterday. I think the BIN listing was only a few minutes old when I saw it. I can't wait for their arrival from Japan

Snapshots of some of the more "interesting" cameras I have are in this PF Album:

Yes they did, and there's another one for sale right now on ebay for the low, low, BIN price of only $2898! That's about double what Moe paid for his though.

Canon EOS 3 & 1v
Pentax spotmatic, K1000, MZ–s, ME super
Nikon FM, FM2N, FE2
Holga 120 purple edition
Polaroid OneStep2

The Super ME is a paperweight.
Film in all the others with regular use.

A nice Konica Point and shoot exploded on the highway a few years back — I watched it shatter into a gazillion pieces in my review mirror when I was on the highway. I recommend never forgetting a camera on the roof of your car....
