Hi all,
I'm just curious how many 35mm slr (or maybe not necessarily slr) you own.
And what is the lowest number that makes you feel "safe".

35mm bodies that I own --- ( I won't go into the other formats from 110 to
polaroid and things in between - I need to be back home to list them though)
Pentax: [19]
M42 - (3) - SV, S1a, S1a, Spotmatic
K mount - (15) - K1000, MX, MV, ME Super, ME F, Super Program, (5) LX, P3
- ZX-5, MZ-5, MZ-S
Nikon: [5]
F3 HP
UW - (4) - Nikonos, Nikonos II, Nikonos IV-A, Nikonos V
Olympus: [3]
Stylus (P&S)
XA-1 ( IIRC)
OM-10
Yashica: [1]
Electro 35 (I think that's the model)
Argus: [1]
C3
Of those the MZ-S and five LX are used the most, unless I am in the water
and then the Nikonos V gets the nod. The S1a and SV then follow in the mix.
The Super Program got a workout lately - my original 35mm, but the
viewfinder pushes me back to the LX and MZ-S. The ZX-5 is used when I do
finish line photos for triathlons and the MZ-5 is on loan to a friend.
I would be comfortable with 2 bodies, though one LX would do it for me. It
is good to always have a backup. I rarely carry only one. Today I was
carrying four LXen. Though with the penchant I have for using at least
different types of film I would think that 3 or 4 would do nicely.
