I'm similar. *ist D, MZ-5n, MX, and a few film P&S cameras. Those are going to be sold (Yashica T-4 Super and Ricoh GR-1 if anyone wants to make an offer before they hit eBay). The MX won't be sold. I'd sell the ZX-5n, but the resale isn't very high on them and it is nice to have a backup body. I'd like to get back into B&W at some point, and digital still isn't what I want for B&W. > >2) How many are in the process of doing so (like Bruce, who is actually > >selling equipment) as opposed to "thinking about it," which doesn't > >count in this survey. > > I'm not even thinking about it with the current level of digital > technology.
