I have three 500c Hasselblad's for 46 years. They've earned me a lot of money through the years, and now they're retired. Shifting gears to two Nikon 810's.

The oldest cameras that I have and still use are a "Asahi pentax Spotmatic II" and a "Mamiya/Sekor 1000 DTL" that I bought in 1971 I believe and a "Mamiya 645" that I got later in the 70's. All 3 still work well. Much more recently I have gotten a "Nikon D3200" and a "Canon Powershot SX50 HS" and I am looking to get a "Nikon D7100" hopefully in the near future. I plan to keep all of them for the foreseeable future.

If it hadn't been stolen years ago, it would still be an Asahi Pentax that I bought in the service in 1969, 35mm, 55 Super Takumar lens.

Minolta Maxxum 7000i. Purchased new shortly after I retired from the Air Force in 1988. That makes it 26 years old. Don't shoot much film anymore but, it still a great camera. It had a spot meter before Nikon's competing 8008s came out.
Hello Nick! I have a Nikon 8008s body (already sold the lenses) in excellent condition w/ box, owners manual. Would you be interested? Make an offer, I loved using it (Ilford Delta 400 b&w film), but would be willing to sell to a good home for a very reasonable sum. /Ralph

Until my pair of Nikon D200's stole my affection, my all time fav was a Minolta SRT101 with 58mm 1.4. It went to 'Nam with me. That Minolta was a high school graduation gift from my parents. It was an awesome upgrade from a Minolta Hi-matic.

I bought a Nikon D7100 two weeks ago. It is already my favorite camera. This is one they definitely got right...

I have a Canon power shot G9 P&S that does great things for what it is. I will keep it until it dies. I also have a Nikon dslr but that may get upgraded.
