Hi, Tom,
You're right (again). I confused collectors with investors. I feel great

The true collector (which I'm sure would include anyone on this list that
collects cameras - whatever their values, vintages and capabilities) loves that
which he or she collects. If usable, they will be

Hi, Tom,
You are, of course, correct. If I have more than one camera, then I guess I'm a
collector. That is an entirely valid use of the term.
When I think or say collector, I think of that type of person who purchases
something for a purpose which (at least partially) is other than that for w

>Hi, Malco
But yeah, I get that too: why do you need another camera? I patiently

have
(all are used) is a bit less than $100 Canadian for my Yashica Mat. For

paid far less - like under $30.
Thanks Frank,
As you know

gun control, SUV's, Australia, Fosters beer, etc, etc. ;-)
But yeah, I get that too: why do you need another camera? I
