Camera collection.... how many?
I have been asked just how many cameras do I have in my collection. Following is a small selection.

Harry, you have me beat.
Doesn't include 8 & 16 mm movie, processing equipment, contact printers, filters, film, etc.
Well, that's a start. : )
Although I tend to accumulate things, I've been good about selling cameras rather than letting the numbers increase.

This is a collection of "ANTIQUE" cameras not one's I purchased new and put on the shelf. Most of the veiw cameras are 100, or more, years old.
As curator you could charge admission. Amazing collection!
you have enough there to start a museum. give it some thought

Harry, you have no idea how much better that makes me feel about my lesser accumulation!
Cool collection, does everything still work? I particularly like the Reese's you have in the collection. Definitely one of my personal favorites. I use to have somewhat of a collection of older gear, although nothing even remotely close to yours, but most of it was destroyed or stolen
My current "collection" is all digital and I began my "modern" collection about 21 years ago with a Sony Mavica CD 300 and it still works. My first DSLR was a Canon 10D, and like all my collection, it still works, although most of them rarely leave the camera cabinet anymore. I've added a few crop MILC'S to the collection but not a full frame yet.
I don't collect as aggressively as I did prior to retirement. Cameras can be fairly expensive when one is on a fixed income.
By the way, really nice collection; enjoy it!

The only cameras I have in my collection are ones that are functioning and I can use. None are eye candy.

Thanks! I showed these to the wife to convince her that I'm not that bad after all. Thanks again.

So…. bottom line is that you don’t know how many you have either. 🥴😳🤔😎

No, I've never taken the time to count them. I have sold off 4 16mm movie and 4 still cameras in the last year. Still looking for a home for the rest.
