where do you keep your cameras?

[Bobbo]

I wonder how the new digi stuff holds up? 😀

My 10D kinda likes the cold...I have less noise from my CMOS at lower temps than hot temps. I compared some shots from the first day of school (about 95F) and from the other day (5F), and the cold is much cleaner. The lithium batteries don't do too bad in the cold, either, but I use two of them in the auxilliary battery pack.

I've never had a camera get so cold it wouldn't work, even when the cylinders in the brass instruments I used to play would seize up (a long story involving a christmas parade at -10F, a Canon Rebel, and a fiberglass sousaphone).

Sorry about the hijack there...

I keep mine in the Domke mentioned in my sig line...very nice, light, but offers good protection and fast access.

Have a nice day,
Bob Clark

I keep 'em in 4 plastic storage bins under my desk, the cameras that are
currently in use sit in a photo bag (just replaced the digital SLR kit with
the M6 kit). At least a Stylus Epic or Canon ML is always in my coat pocket.

Hi Bobbo, when those D10's are older and cheaper I'll try one out. I'd have to sell all my existing stuff and then some to get one with a lens now. :bang: 😀 🙂

Do you think a D10 would be happy on the floor of the truck? 🙂

Regards.

I keep mine in 3 "dryboxes " which contain moisture absorbers that contain that can be "dried out" by plugging them into an electrical mains every couple of months.
Very neat but essential with the high humidity in SE Asia.

it is so dry here on the prairies, especially in the winter, that i often keep a large pot of water boiling for an hour or 2 to get some humidity in the place.

I love my wife...display cases are being made at her insistence. Until they are completed, which may be around the time hell freezes over, gear is stashed in closets, a gun safe, Pelican cases, shelves, and drawers -- in short it's a mess!!! She has no personal interest in still photography (a video-cam is her toy) but she likes my old iron :angel:.

My cameras are in two drawers of my closet (together a lot of with dessicant bags). Didn´t have time yet to make a good display for them. The most frequently used (a Canonet QL17, a GSN and mamiya Super Deluxe) are either on my desk or at some other place where I can reach them fast enough. The only exceptions are the Contax II that is stored in a ZI Omnica leather shoulder bag, and the Kiev 4 which is in a rigid leather padded box made on purpose.

The cute ones - the Click, the Clack, you know the drill - sit atop the bookcase.
The ones I use most - the FE, the GSN, the Great Wall, the GR1S, and, recently, the Canonet - are tucked into two different camera bags prepared to be rearranged, and exercised, at whim.
The rest lives under my bed, in comfortable baskets.
We move in June; I have plans for a true display in the new house: each camera is, after all, a work of art in its own right.

I haven't read all the posts, but I guess I am like a lot with more cameras than makes good sense. Some are on shelves in the utility room, some are in various drawers, some are in bags or cases, some are in an Omaha Steaks styrofoam container in my car. The Fujica ST 901 and lenses are in a canvas bag, the Yashica FX's are in another smaller bag bought at Ritz, and the Super Press 23 (my first ticket here) are in an aluminum case, all three of those in the closet. The Olympus SP and the Rolleiflex stay in the car in the Steak container. A digital P&S resides in my backpack most of the time.

I actually use some of the cameras I have, but not all. I mean to. I want to, just don't have the time to use some 30 or 40 cameras from 16mm to 8x10, SLRs, RFs and folders as well as sundry bantams and some strange things like a wide 616.

Some day....
