I have all my old cameras, back to my first, an old fold out bellows style inherited from my grandparents. My first SLR, dates back to 1962 (purchased new while in high school).

I still have my AE-1 Program and T-90 but gave away my EOS-5 and EOS-3. I felt that the EOS-3 just needed to be used rather than gather dust so I donated it to my daughter's school a month or so ago. They have a darkroom and use film regularly.

I have a spare 300D which I've been lending to friends to play with. It has a 17-85mm and a 75-300mm, I think of them as "touring lenses".

Mamiya AFD 645

5, 4x5 cameras - only need 2

Sold my 2 Mamiya 7II's after not using the,m for 2 years. Hardest cameras I have had to sell!

I took them out one last time to see if I should keep trhem. After 20+ years of using film, and 2- of using a D30, I weas really confused:

* I have to take the film to the *lab* to see a preview?

* I have to put different film in the camera just to change ISO?

Old skills die fast. I wasnt smart enough to keep working with film. Now with those 4x5's ... I am even dumber.

From that list I have an A-1, D30 and even two 1v-HS bodies. I don't use them as much as I used to, but I still use them!

Still have my 1VHS and AE-1, tempted to sell the 1V a few times... I guess it's more of a personal attachment than anything.

I now own 1 film & 4 dslr bodies ... guess I'm a collector
there are times it is handy to have all the dslr's ... such as weddings, events & sports as I can equip other photogs with 2nd cameras
