Hi,

A: I have 'em all. I am a camera collector. Film cameras have become so 
cheap, that I have been easily bought those models back from eBay.
B: Pentax 645N - the only camera I REALLY did not want to give back 
after testing ( I write the reviews for a local computer-photo 
magazine). It was tested together with some Hasselblad and  Mamiya 
645/6x6 cameras and for me, Pentax was really the best.
I could quite easily buy a body with normal lens, but then (I jut know 
myself), it would sooner or later end up with series of additional 
lenses and accessories - and this is the expense I would rather avoid.

BR, Margus

A

Contax RTSII with Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 - sold when I got divorced. As the
lens said made in West Germany, it's probably worth more now.


B

Given that I rarely use my Z1p why would I want an LX and a MZ-S? It
must be some form of addiction.

Since I got my 67II, the only excuse left for poor pictures (apart
from the useless photographer) is my lack of a Nikon 9000 scanner.

touched it in over 30 years.  I don't know what became of it, it was shoved

bought again a MAT 124 as G-version in fairly good condition a few years

A:  I really wish I had my first good camera back - it was a

Pentax, an H3v, because I wanted interchangeable lenses.  Seemed like  
a good idea at the time...

B:  The list is long, but I'd start with a Leica M3 with the f2.0

but that's way out of my league!

I guess I'll just stick with my Pentax collection - like my marriage,  
it's lasted over 40 years and still feels comfortable...

I can never bear to sell or throw away any of my cameras.  I still
have the Asahi Spotmatic that I purchased in Japan in 1966, as well my
father-in-law's Speed Graphic, both of which still work.

I always wanted a view camera, but could never justify the expense.

been gone long enough for nostalgia to set-in but I did like it a bunch.

 A: What cameras have you owned that you wish you had never gotten rid of?

Every camera I sold last summer, especially the 6x7 and MX.  Someday I'll 
replace them, I hope.

 B: And, just for fun, what cameras have you lusted for but never had?

Oohh, lots.  Back at Reed's, I got to play with many professional and otherwise 
super-expensive cameras.  The entire Hasselblad and Leica M lines are a good 
example of cameras I lusted after.  I once got to borrow an M4 for a weekend, 
and a Hassy 501 (I think) for a week, and was immediately in love with them 
both.

There are plenty of other cameras I've lusted after, but the only one I really 
ever wanted more than others was the Pentax LX, and really this is only because 
of the legendary status the camera holds amongst us Pentax fans.

And because I can afford lenses for it...

A: What cameras have you owned that you wish you had never gotten rid of?

I wish I hadn't traded in my first MX on a Z70. I've since bought more MXen
to replace it, but that's not quite the same.

B: And, just for fun, what cameras have you lusted for but never had?

I guess the 67II is the only thing that still falls into that category.
Getting any type of 6x7 was a bigger yearning though, so I'm not losing
sleep over it (I now have a 6x7 and 67)

The only other cameras that I ever seriously lusted after were:
MX (when I only had a K1000)
Super Speed Graphic (last of the Graflex)
Super D (top of the line 4x5 SLR)
Kodak 1A (old style 8x10 portrait camera on a wooden stand)

I've never been that interested in Leicas or Hasselblads even although I can
see the quality.

Almost moot now, as I'd have to find a used one, if I decide to go there...

I have several other Pentax rangefinders and some Oly OM- SLRs that I do keep,

-0- none! Once I bonded with my K10D (took about four minutes), I've
never looked back.
IF I were ever to return to film (yeah, right!), I'd pick up an MZ-S to
replace the one I sold. Have fond memories of the LX, but I had my way
with it for a number of years and have moved on. Didn't even take much

 Thought it was time to reminisce again.

I don't hang onto gear I don't use, and I'm not sentimental or  
nostalgic about gear I've owned. Cameras are tools.

 A: What cameras have you owned that you wish you had never gotten  
 rid of?

I never wish that I hadn't gotten rid of what I've sold, but the only  
camera that I actually miss now and then is the Hassy 903SWC. I sold  
it when I hadn't used it for over a year: it was too valuable to  
leave sitting in a closet unused.

And I miss my favorite Minox B that traveled with me for several  
years all over the world. It was lost in shipping after a CLA, I  
didn't get rid of it intentionally.

 B: And, just for fun, what cameras have you lusted for but never had?

None. If an infatuation with a camera reached the level of lusted  
for, I bought it. Took 35 years to reach that point with the Hassy  
SWC. At their price, that has to be a LOT of infatuation...

Ah yes. The MX-S is the only SLR I have wanted but can't quite justify the 
cost of.
Almost moot now, as I'd have to find a used one, if I decide to go there...

I have several other Pentax rangefinders

keith I want some of what your smoking man

-0- none! Once I bonded with my K10D (took about four minutes), I've
never looked back.
IF I were ever to return to film (yeah, right!), I'd pick up an MZ-S to
replace the one I sold. Have fond memories of the LX, but I had my way
with it for a number of years and have moved on. Didn't even take much
therapy. ;)

Hah!

You're telling me you have come thru, off of, film cameras in general, even 
the LX, I might assume an MX, also a MZ-S, and have now settled in with a 
K10D, and there's simply NO looking back?

It's that good?

I once did that with my first OM-1, but...none since.

I have a lot of film and digital cameras, and while I really like a couple of 
my digitals a lot, I don't know I regard any of them to be the 'end-all' of 
image makers!
Each in his/it's own way, yeah, but...you've really made a choice!  H.

Interesting. Maybe I'll look some more at that ol' K10D!

I'll hang on to all my Pentax lenses until I make up my mind, of course!  g

 None. If I lust for them, I buy them, so I have them.

It's that convenient.

I haven't touched film since I got the K10D, and I only shot a couple of
rolls in the years when I was using the *ist D.

Given that, the stable of two MXen, a Super Program, a PZ-1p and a MZ-S
is probably more than a little excessive :-)
