I couldn't own one.
I couldn't stomach looking through the viewfinder and sharing that with
someone who saw things the way they did.
It's like I couldn't eat a sumptuous meal off of a Nazi place setting.

Yes, but the people collecting them now know who the owners were and
what they did when not snapping pictures.
They belong in the landfill (the cameras, not the people).
