Mr.Machold,who used to be the owner of world's #1 dealer in old Italian violins of the same name,had an apartment in NYC.

He had a roomful of glass cabinets which were filled with ALL kinds of Nikon cameras,lenses and every accessaries for Nikons ever made,all brand new.

There were literally thousands of them.

In one corner, there were about 30 cameras he actaully used at least once.

I don't think anyone had more complete collection of Nikons other than possibly,Nikon company itself.

Unfortunately,he was indicted for many frauds and fined 200 million euros and he is in jail now.
