David, I actually did what you did, not too long ago... Then I just gave up. It's just not so practical... I used to have Pentax LX*2 ME Super, Program Plus, Auto 110, Canon Canonet, Konica S2, Yashica Electro35GT, Yashica Flasher, Contax T3. Some of them are classics and all of them in excellent working order. But I then sold most of them. Because I just don't use them all and I feel sorry for them just sitting there... because I really just like using LX and DS I actually prefer collecting Pentax lenses... I can use them in rotation.

I thought it woudl be "neat" to collect some film cameras that I have used or enjoyed using in the past and displaying them as suggested many times over on the list.. in a cabinet. I have, currently, what I consider to be 4 "classic" cameras that can all still be used with film. My Canonet QL 17 GIII, Olympus XA, Contax T2, and the K1000 - all in relatively "good" condition and quite useable. I was wondering if anyone else has thought of this or done it and if so.. what have you got waiting to be, or being, displayed at your place?
