Exchanged one and got another since this morning. F5 went away due to electronic issues, F2AS returned to the stable, and a Minolta Maxxum 9000 appeared.

the title should appropriately be "Camera Hoarders" I think we just cornered the market

How many cameras do you need to own before men in white coats drag you off to a rubber room on the funny farm ?, there's a difference between being an enthusiast and being an obsessive hoarder of hundreds of cameras that you are never going to use.

I see many threads on photographic forums asking "How many cameras do you own ?, I ask myself is it because they need some sort of reassurance that they are normal ?

I ask myself is it because they need some sort of reassurance that they are normal ?

I have lots of film cameras to reassure myself that I'm not normal.

It reminds me Steve about the story about two psychiatrists who meet in the street and one says to the other "hello, John, your O.K, how am I ?"
