I use like 90% of these cameras, but I need somewhere to put them in the mean time

>all that clutter

This image is triggering me.

I really fucking hate hoarding shit, why do you need like 3 MF cameras, 2 polariods, a mountain of 35mm? This is just some mental health issue.

I have this rule of thumb where I buy quality, but in small amounts.

Get rid of that landfill fodder OP!

I just take photos when I'm out and about, I mainly collect cameras when I'm at random places like charity shops, antique fairs and ebay for cheap; clean 'em up real good and either display them or sell them

No, he's not triggered, he's right. Why buy something when your current hardware can meet or exceed it. Or, why keep something around when your new hardware will surpass it in the desired manner. You could stand to consolidate.

Meh, I think you can be a serious photographer and still enjoy old cameras as cool toys or decorative objects, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

I'm a working pro and I still have a shelf of classic film cameras in my living room. People literally give the things away, even pretty good cameras (I got an F2 and a Mamiya C33 that way, for example), and if nothing else, chicks think they're cool when they come over.

I'm already in mental anguish from just owning more that one 35mm film body, and worst yet they're different mounts. I'm always thinking I should simplify my gear (even sell off all my film stuff) but they're just wonderful tools even if outdated. For the record, I'm talking about my Bessa R3m and Nikon FM3a.

To answer OP, I keep them on the top of my shelf. I do my best to keep dust off all my stuff. I fucking hate dust in general. I've got a dust filter and check regularly. There's nothing more disgusting that dusty cameras.

That's just me then, cos I can't stand clutter. My gf moved recently and gave me all her film cameras and stuff, and I've told her I'm getting rid of it. Granted if they were F3's and M6's, I'd be holding onto them, but they're mostly plastic shit.

All you need is a 43-86 zoom for that Nikomat and you'll have the single most underwhelming camera collection of all time.

i've always thought it was fine to have more than one camera of the same format as long as they serve a purpose

a nikon f100 and a stylus epic use the same format but you don't shoot them the same way

I'm honestly not even sure what model it is because I found it with the nameplate missing. I did some searching and I'm pretty sure it's a Yashica Mat LM with the meter and nameplate removed.

I hate it, honestly. I found it at a thrift store for dirt cheap and it's in good working condition and everything but it's just not any good and I think it's extremely clunky so it's mostly just for decoration. The Bronica is much better.

On top of the freezer. Then scattered around everywhere when I need to get something from the said freezer. Back on top of the freezer again when I get tired of tripping on them on the way to the toilet at night.

Just thinking about selling some stuff I have, and buying something "better" with the money. Why exactly did you not get along with the Contaxes? I'm asking because I shoot a Mju II a lot, and a GR for digital, and was thinking of maybe getting a Contax T2 or G.

I've only used it a few times, it's mostly a just in case, if I'm on a hike and there's a good shot but not enough light. But it seems pretty solid, no complaints, and it's nice and light. I think that model's discontinued now though. It's a lot better than the bulky af raveli 70" with pistol grip head that I bought for some odd reason
