As a recovering collector I will start off stating that I have bought only one camera this year - a 1937 Photax viewfinder camera made out of bakelite, 2 shutter speeds, 2 apertures, dual format 645 or 6x9.
My reasoning was I didn't have a camera made in France. Does this make me a minimalist in some degree?
About 75 cameras (over 25 years) in my collection, 7 of them don't work, 3 of them require film no longer available.
I have a shelf called my army of compacts displaying: 6 Olympus Trip 35, 6 Konica C35, 6 Minolta Hi-Matic G and 1 Ricoh 35ZF
Family and friends have contributed 12 old film cameras to my collecltion.
My current go to cameras - Pentax LX / SV, Holga 120N, Hasselblad 503cx, Minolta AF50 Big Finder with other cameras in rotation.
