    Lots & lots... all bought for mini bucks and all fun.

    Some that spring to mind...

    2 Hasselblads (500C and 500CM)
    2 Bronicas (SQAi and ETRSi)
    2 Mamiya TLRs (C3 and C330)
    2 Mamiya 645s (1000s and a Pro... I think)
    Mamiya RZ67
    AGFA ISOLY JR
    Holga

    Olympus OM2n
    Olympus OM10 or 20... maybe 30... I can't remember
    Olympus Trip
    Canonet 28
    ZORKI-4K

    And a few others... Hasselblad and Mamiya TLR being the faves.

    heres my current list:


    Canon eos 300V
    Canon eos 300V
    Ricoh XR-1 (pentax k mount)
    Olympus XA
    Olympus XA2
    Olympus Mju 1
    Olympus Infinity S
    Nikon AF600
    Ricoh RX-50
    Konica BM201
    Yashica Electro G
    Yashica T
    Yashica T3
    Pentax PC35 AF-M

    my favourite at the moment is the Olympus XA, very compact with an awesome lens, very quiet operation
    and Ive put black tape on the camera so it looks like a toy! I just wish it wasnt limited to iso800,
    other than that it would be a flawless camera

    Lot more OM4Ti's around here than I expected, I have one myself, great camera.

    Recently got a great little rangefinder via ebay for €55, an Olympus 35DC with 40mm f1.7 lens on the front, auto exposure so I just have to worry about focussing, great little camera though

    Have a cheap underwater job from Lidl and a Canon 300V I picked up on ebay for £6 plus shipping. Only run a single film of fuji free through it before lending to a friend though thinking I might start bringing it to England with me to keep me entertained in the evenings.

    a mate of mine has a 3Ti. i'd love one but couldn't justify the cost.

    Hand built, works without batteries, pretty much the Olympus SLR version of a Leica M4-p

    I've seen pristine OM3Ti's on ebay before for €2500 and up, thank goodness I'm usually prudent with money!

    I got myself a Fed 5 last year after liking Ghost Trains images taken with his and really enjoyed using my own. Mine isn't the most practical to use as the rewind mechanism doesn't seem to work so I've just added a Pentax ME Super to the small but hopefully growing collection.

    If any film meets are coming up please let me know, the last one was great craic.

    Would love to go to a film meet too but won't be free any weekend until April as I'm moving house at the end of March (expect lots of shots of Dublin's most photographed power station and some kite surfers - I'm moving to Clontarf ;))

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,271 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    That lot definitely demands a photo shoot!

    Take a photo !!!! -- are you nuts? :eek:
    Reading between the lines, you are either single or have the most understanding partner ever!!!

    to risk assembling all these in one spot after sneaking them in over the last few years. Well put it this way, can I come live with you afterwards? lol

    I'll try to snap them but they are in two groups , one in Dublin , the others in cork in 3 huge archive boxes, plus a few out on loaners to folk. I rotate them when i go down to see the folks... thus to my partner the real number of cameras in the house never changes .. I think she is now gone beyond recognising any differences between them. Although she might notice a large format camera should I get one... still working on this one...

    I suspect I am not the only member here who has bought another camera on evil bay or somewhere else and then got it delivered to work and awaited the opportune movement to sneak it into the house and let it get lost somewhere in the background noise? Jaysus, just thinking I'm glad we don't have internal CCTV. I must look like some guilty adolescent creeping in the door with his first dirty mag hidden up his jumper... lol :D
