Hi DCB, welcome to the forum! Smile You can't post links or photos in your first post - an anti-spam measure. You'll be OK from now on.

You've come to the right place, DCB. Let's see -- Canons, Olympi, and a Bronica. Yep, you should fit right in here. Cool

Next step -- you need to start spending all your disposable income on lenses. MF, of course. Shocked

Sorry for the post issue.... Surprised

I am not a collector.... there is film in every one of them.

I did forget to put 2 others in the picture.
Canon EOS A2
Yashica TL Electro

I know the A2 is AF but I do not have any lenses for it.


Peace

Collector or user, you'll fit in here. Welcome.

A nice selection of hardware you have there. Some quality stuff!!

Now in the next 6 months your assignment is to collect at least:

3x non working 1950's models because they are cute.
1x film slr with a weird lens mount.
20x lenses in M42 mount
15x 50-58mm prime lenses
3x complete bags of camera equipment inc filters, flashes etc from boot sales/flea markets/friends
5x cameras that are the same as what you had years ago
4x rubbish zooms in the 75-210 or 80-300 range.

And keep us updated as you go along.

Shouldn't be a problem. Well it wasn't for me!!

That is a serious issue. You don't have enough types of camera. But, that's okay, because Dr. David has a prescription:

1X Pentax K or M series camera with 50mm 1:2 Pentax-M lens
1X Canon FD wide-angle lens
1X Olympus OM ultra-fast lens
Refill as needed: film. Suggest Fuji Acros 100, Fuji Velvia 50, and Ilford HP5+

That's pretty much where I started too and it rapidly went downhill from there - just remember to keep shooting with them and the fun doesn't go away.
