[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm currently selling off a lot of stuff I don't use enough. The one I
regret most is my M6, but it simply wasn't getting used any more - can't
sell the others, though, especially the M3 and the IIIf. Next most missed is
my Minolta XE-1 - but to make up for these, I've picked up my first R, an
R3. I think that might prove expensive...
The camera I've regretted selling for the longest time is (whisper it
softly!) a Zorki 4K.

Leica Model 1 with 50 mm Elmar. The first Leica I ever owned. (Body
totaled in a car crash. I still have the lens.)
Contax 1. A beast of a camera, heavy, unergonomic, unreliable. But
great in a collection to contrast with a Leica. (Traded for a prewar
Leica IIIc with Summitar.)
Leica IIIc with Summitar (above). Used on honeymoon in the Jurassic
era. My wife and I are still married. The camera was stolen.
Robot 1. Ruined and rusted into a hulk by a leaky roof. I loved that
unique camera. Wind it on Sundays. Take pictures all week long.
Rollei 4x4. Sold to fix 1947 Plymouth.
