Gentle reader,
I thank you most humbly once again for taking the time to read/view my blog.
I still routinely tour the various local thrift shops for the things, and if you're a regular reader, you know what those "things" are, I like to dabble in. Therefore, I needed to create room in the cabinet. I squeezed all the GULF colors Porsches and Fords onto one shelf.
I also moved the Ford Falcon, a fancier 1/18th scale model of Nancy's first car up with the others.Lest you are concerned, that is not a real pistol. 'Tis the now afflicted gas blowback 1911 airsoft pistol. Below the cabinet is the top book shelf that contains many of my favorite books from my youth. Gotta love ABEBOOKS and ebay for finding them!
Above, you can see I squeezed the Pentax AF film SLR (silver one) next to the Olympus OM-2S. To the right of that is a Sears branded Ricoh manual focus film SLR. It is also Pentax K mount. Directly above that, next to the Leica is a Canon Canonet G-III QL rangefinder 35mm film camera. The best of the Canonet line. So that makes 23 cameras on those three shelves. Believe it or not, one of the tiny ones IS a real camera!
Above, the left two were gifts from one of my sisters. Next the Rolleiflex TLR, then two of my late father-in-laws movie cameras. Lastly, looking more like flashes are the two Olympus dedicated units for the SLR and ZLR cameras above.
Lastly are the big ones. The "Press" camera was an unexpected gift from my father-in-law. It takes 4" by 6" sheet film. The one on the right is an all-paper camera that I made from a kit. It uses 35mm film and a pin-hole lens for long exposures.
The only film cameras not on display are the Voigtlander Bessa R with all it's lenses and the Olympus OM-10 and all it's lenses. Still have film in the freezer, just waiting!
Thanks for looking,
Scott
