The Camera Funnel

[Wolfeye]

I have many cameras. I do not know the count but it's over fifty. I know there are many others here on APUG who have as many, or more. When people talk about the resurgence of film use I think they are forgetting that a great part of this "surge" is from film lovers buying large quantities of the stuff (both cameras and equipment) to ward off, as long as possible, that dark day when film photography is trully a rare bird.

I have enough cameras. Do you? If not, I am relinquishing my "hold" on the tip of the funnel and directing it towards your closets.

Is there a valid, sane reason to have 50+ cameras?

If you are not making occasional use of them all, or running a museum, your large collection is probably a sign of mental illness.

I guess I am mentally unwell.

I guess I am mentally unwell.

It happens to many

They are mine. Mine. Mine.

On the bright side, you're only HALF as ill as me. Maybe closer to 1/3. I'm afraid to count anymore.

a lot of people are stuck in the same vortex



my entry needs to be amended ...
i think i have a few more

[Domenico Foschi]

I think that you are doing a great thing to put them for sale.
A friend recently reminded me that a camera not used it's not a camera.

[Dave in Kansas]

I think it depends on why you have the number of cameras you have. If you are a collector then that's probably not an unreasonable number. People collect all sorts of things. If you are a photographer it is hard for me to realize why you would have that many.

I don't know exactly how many I have, but more than I need for certain. I have no plans to acquire any more. I just want to use what I've got and keep a couple of spares.

Well, I must be mentally very sound then.

I use all my cameras.

A lot.

All four of them.
