Hagakure with perfume
I've got it bad.
In my collection I now have:
**A Contax G2 21/28/35/45/90 et al kit (my current favourite).
**A Nikon D50 (which I also love) and a Nikon F65 with Sigma 10-20 and 18-200 (solely for the D50) and a bunch of zoom and prime Nikkors.
**A recently acquired Minolta 7000 AF (free!); today I bought a 28mm f2.8 prime for it (49 GBP used), to go with the 35-80 zoom that came with the camera.
**A Zeiss Ikon Nettar direct view.
**An Olympus C5060WZ 5mp digital compact.
**An old Cosina PK mount basic manual everything SLR. (I never use this one, nor am I likely to).
**A 1950s Leica IIIf with a pre-WWII 50mm f2 Summar collapsible - about to get the RF mirror re-silvered.
**And today, as well as the Minolta prime, I bought a Zorkii 3 with a Jupiter 8 50mm f2 lens. The Zorkii plus lens also cost 49 GBP used.
I probably could have got the Zorkii and Minolta lens cheaper on eBay but I like to support the local camera exchange.
Thankfully, La thanatos is very understanding. This will probably keep me occupied for a while but I will no doubt get an M-mount Leica (or 2 or 3 or Bessa or ZI) at some point.
