l enjoyed seeing your collection. I always wanted an Olympus Pen F. Thought it would be fun to make paired shots, a series of vertical compositions that compliment each other and printed in pairs like a single 35mm frame. I own a Bessa R which is a bit easier to use that the Bessa T. Have an L as well but a little harder to use but with a wide angle and zone focus it works pretty well.
Great selection! I'm trying to restrict myself to one exchangeable lens system per format & type. So I have 3 Minolta SLR bodies (SRT 101, X-300, X-500) and a collection of lenses for them.
Yeah that's a good policy! I've also considered having one body per form factor. E.g. one 35mm slr, one 35mm rangefinder, one point and shoot etc... I'm definitely over that for every category, so maybe two each is acceptable 🙂
I just bought OM1n, today 🤣🤣🤣 A line of cameras that might interest you are Kodak's Retina series. In the 50's Kodak flooded the market with those. My dad got the IIc model and that was the camera of his life. Leica - esque feel and quality, great lenses etc. That is, if you can find one in a working order...
Hey Phil, nice collection. Add 110, panoramic and large format to it and you've pretty much covered each available format. Ah, and maybe a Nikonos for real underwater usage the Konica might not cope with anymore... Sorry if this triggers your GAS ;-)
Quite the collection
It's ever changing!
Lots of good stuff - Love the look of that Tiara!
It's a very pretty camera! I'm leaning towards the XA but not enough to let it go :)
Damn, that's a nice collection!
Thank you! It's ever changing.
Cool video, thanks for sharing
Thank you! Really appreciate you watching ☺️
@@PhilKnall I know the pain of gear acquisition syndrome 😁
The XA is a beast of a camera. I shot Color Plus in it and it renders the colors nice and contrasty.
I would love to get my hands on a Klasse S.
Agreed, the XA is wonderful. The Klasse cameras look amazing too, but they are soooo expensive...

Where do you usually buy your cameras from? Online auctions or do you hunt for them in recycle shops?
I usually get mine from Yahoo auctions, and sometimes Hardoff or similar recycle shops. Have had better luck online.

Thanks for the comment! I have definitely been tempted by those Retinas.. wouldn't be surprised if i picked one up soon ;)
Bruh lol I thought I was bad 😂 Japan camera hunter pt 2
Lol it's definitely an addiction! Not nearly as bad as Bellamy though, with the exception of the Mamiya7 all of these are comparatively cheap.

Out of those the Nikonos is the most tempting for me... But you forgot a TLR, I have been tempted to get one many times!
@@PhilKnall Please google gowlandflex - there are also some nice reviews here on YT ;-)
