There is nothing wrong with buying one or two new cameras once in a while. Now one or two dozen, that would be a bit....wierd, lol.
 
You know you've got it bad when you start looking for lenses for a camera you don't have yet:rolleyes: I have a Zorki 3m coming (shuold have it next week) and I'm allready buying more lenses. I found a turret finder and J-11 and Industar 22 at a good price so those are on their way.
Oh well, I geuss I could really be doing morphine but then I don't think there is an active forum for that:D

Yesterday I went to an automobile swap meet. There was a RF there. I did not buy it...there is light.

Ok, ok, it was a Petri 7s and the light meter (selenium cells) was not working. Eh, put my $10 back in my pocket...

:)
 
Arghhh....did it again. I bought a Yashica GSN locally for $15. I didn't even want it, but for $15....how can I go wrong?

Sheesh, here is the current list.

Canon QL17 GIII
Olmpus SPn
Yashica GSN

So there I have. One with ISO 100, then 400, then 800.
 
You just need 3 more. The 3 you have for 100, 400, and 800 B+W film, and 3 new rangefinders for the same iso's in colour film. Oh, then there's slide film, and IR film...
 
Yeah :) an Agfa folder arrived in a nice box this morning. I bought it for 20 incl postage. It has a "watameter" that is, an external rangefinder device. It is supposed to work good (both camera and meter). I bought it mainly for the watameter, the fun factor and the low price:(
 
Well thanks for the support all. I like the idea of color. Hmmm....Here I thought I could travel lighter now. Those deals though....how can you pass it up. Ugh....

Here I thought this place was a forum for information on RF's. I think it more of a support group now. :D

Watameter! You got it! I was outbid on one....Bleh, I ended up getting the Blik instead for my Silette. The Silette....doh, did I forget to mention that one?....that one belonged to my parents. Shutter sticks at speeds under 15. Zone focusing and they have owned it since new. She stays at home on the shelf next to my Brownie.

Oh I am so glad I found all of you to walk me through this...I need to find someone close to me so I can have packages delivered to you then you can stop by and say, "Eh, i was cleaning out my place David and thought you could use this Leica. She yours for free. " or the next RF that I find....

:)
 
Yes, there is total justification for the "different film in X amount of bodies" theory. I know I've got one for color, B&W, Velvia and then there's the hi-speed film one for these dark cloudy days - LOL.
