Default How many 35mm cameras do you own

Just to see how many 35mm cameras people actually own on here
Some people collect them and not use them, some just cant help themselves with impulse purchases, and some want a camera for everyday of the month
Is there anyone who is happy owning one camera, to the person who,s
collection looks like a display case in a camera shop

Anyway heres my small collection of 35mm cameras (not including lenses)

Nikon lite touch 120ed compact
Werra rangefinder with fixed 50mm zeiss lens (dont know which model)
Canon eos rebel 1ooo plastic slr (holiday colour slides)
Nikon fe (my first metal slr)
Nikon fm2 (my 2nd)
Nikon fe2 (my 3rd)
Nikon fm3a (my 4th)
Contax g2

Gone
Leica z2x jaguar ltd edition
Contax t2

Maybe I can claim the prize at the singular end of the range. I own one 35mm only . Unsurprisingly a Pentax

I have 3 cameras and use all of them regularly. All were purchased from new. They all work just as good as the day they were made. I like well engineered and reliable equipment.

Nikon F5 (Solid, 100% viewfinder, Terrific metering). 2005
Nikon F90x (great with manual focus lenses). 1996
Nikon FM2n (great for travelling light). 1991

Now don't get me started on my medium format kit ...!!

Having decided a couple of years ago to ignore 35mm altogether and only use MF, this summer i've had so much fun with my old Pentax MX that i've just picked up an Xpan - i've wanted a panoramic camera, and 617s are far too big and bulky for my style of shooting.

Olympus 35 RD
Olympus XA
Pentax MX
Canon Eos 3
Zorki
Hasselblad Xpan

Think that's it, but there are probably a whole heap i've forgotten in the bottom of a draw in the darkroom ;-)


Mike, well done on avoiding the 35mm pitfall. I hope it's an LX, anything less and i'll be disappointed

I've got rid of a few recently, but here's my current stable, starting with my favourites:

Working Cameras:

Olympus OM2n
Olympus OM1n
Olympus OM10
Olympus XAII (Unusual red one)
Olympus Mju1

Ricoh GR1s (2)
Konica Auto S2

Non-working cameras, which I may get round to sorting one day! (although if anyone is after any projects let me know - I could do with more space to keep working cameras!):

Olympus OM2 - prism needs replacing / cleaning
Olympus OM2SP - Battery drain problem
Olympus OM1 - as above
Olympus Trip - Lens loose (I plan on getting this sorted soon, or getting it part ex for one on those with the fancy leather trim!)
Olympus XAII (black) Not sure what's wrong with it but it doesn't work and it rattles!

Only two for me; my first, a 1960's Pentax SV and a Canon EOS30 which I bought to use for some college assignments.
