Go for seven, one for each day. 🙂

Let's see. Today is Saturday, so I'll take my Saturday "P". 🙂

i DO prefer odd numbers...🙂

 

[taffer]

Joe, one question, have you identified the 'generation' of each one of you Ps ? I mean, subtle differences in ISO dials, screw number/position, engravings lettering, etc ?

 

[Wayne R. Scott]

To P or not to P? Is that the question?

And you could have each painted a different color 😉.

 

[taffer]

If I were you, I'd make a set of metal grips and soft releases in color, you now have silver and black, but then there's red, green, yellow, etc 😀

And btw, if your next movement leaves you with an 'orphan' 28/3.5, let me know 😉

 

[JoeFriday]

Joe do you find that the more you drink, the more you want to P?

 

[Byuphoto]

Help quick!!!!!! Joe has Urinarius Collectivitus or commonly known as the desire to collects others "P"

Joe, hold onto the two knob winders that you have. Three of a kind should be enough for anyone. Those knob wind Canons are classics, and you owe itself to keep them. They are back to the roots.

Plus, if I can pick up a VI-T on a BIN for $140, there will be more Canon P's along at good prices. You are selling short getting rid of two bodies and a lens for one Canon P.

the voice of reason...damn!

😉joe

 

[taffer]

Brian gave you good advice Joe, listen to it 😉

 

[back alley]

ah, you guys are likely right.

it's a sickness, always looking for a change.
and i do really like the bottom feeders...

maybe if i put the 28 on one of the p's...carry the 1.9 on the iv sb...aaaagggghhhhh...

i know...i'll hold on to this stuff till i can trade it for a hexar af!!

anyone interested???

 

[Sonnar Brian]

I looked up the prices in McBroom's guide, 6th edition.

The "P" in ex condition goes for $340. The III and IVSB go for about $300 each, and the F1.9 goes for $100. The "P" is obviously much more convenient to use, but it was a high-volume camera. The Canon III and IVSB were made in far fewer numbers. And as I have found with my IIf, they are quite nice to use.

I could never stick to one camera. Keeps the mind "Nimble", switching between them. And they all have their own personality and quirks. Makes it much more fun.

ok ok!

Nice avatar, Joe.

I gotta say... the Hexar AF is one sweeeeet camera, though. But it would be a "black sheep" in your family.
