What Other "Classic" Stuff do You Play With?

Very cool Pete. In what town are your buildings?

Rossville, IL. We picked them up for $2500 about 6-years ago, that pic is actually from around the time of purchase. The inside & roof needed way more work than the exterior.

Most are Japanese rangefinders from 60's and 70's. Most are Minolta's, although I have a few Canon's, Yashica's, a 50's Voightlander, and an 80's Leica too. In addition to the rangefinders I have two complete Minolta MF SLR outfits (SR-T 102 and XE-7) plus 2 Maxxum outfits. I also have a Sony DSLR that can use the Maxxum lenses. There is also a Mamiya RB-67S outfit that I call my Texas Hasselblad. Finally there is a full darkroom setup including 3 enlargers (including a Minolta Model III with full colorhead and analyser) and enough lenses, tubes/trays/etc to go with them all. Unfortunately I don't currently have a dedicated darkroom to put them in.

Oooh, oooh, me too. I have a restored Pentax K1000 SE that I couldn't be separated from in high school, a Canon AE1, and a Nikon FE. I really only use the Pentax, and only occasionally, but I love them all.

Camera: A good, old, simple Minolta SRT200.

Metal body, built like a tank with mirror slap that will startle you.

I used my dad's old Minolta SRT102 for years.

I have my folks movie camera that they bought back in 1959 and we have a couple of older Nikons as well but we just have them, they are not really a collection.

I also have an early 80's Club Fuji road bike.

As for collecting I have the 76 YZ 125 and the 62 Honda 90. I also have some Lionel trains along with my HO model trains i bought in the 70s there is a small layout in the extra bedroom along with some memorabila.

Boy, where to start...

Probably my biggest love (outside of cars) was photography, black and white. I had a hand-me-down Pentax ME Super and a few second hand lenses. I developed my own film and printed my own images in a hillbilly darkroom.

Old bikes? Been there too. I restored a couple old Stingrays and a first gen Predator.

Cast iron cookware is my last holdout. My gem is a 100 year old Griswold frying pan. I have a couple modern pieces by Lodge, but the old stuff is where it's at!

I like old tools also

1955 Shopsmith mkV 5 in one woodworking tool.

1961 Buffalo forge drill press.

I'm a bit if a B&W photography addict, although I haven't really used the films cameras for a while.

I've got a couple of Yashica Contax bodies with some nice glass and bought a Bronica ETR medium format camera earlier this year that I finally got to use a couple of weeks ago. Pride of that collection is a Leica M2 from the late 50s, but that needs a bit of a tune up as it hasn't been used for about 6-7 years.

I also happen to like 60s/70s/80s European motorcycles. Oh, and my wife collects old Griswold cookware.

I have liked old cameras since I was a teenager. My mom would go to Goodwills, garage sales, etc. When I was with her I'd buy a camera if it "looked" interesting. This reminds me, I need to dig out the many I have and get them on the other shelves.
