This weekend I have added another camera to my collection and have come to the conclusion that I am becoming a camera whore……. lol
The Nikon FM2n that I got my hands on is a dream camera, when I was in school I looked at the Nikons and longed to own one but never managed to get one.
I have a few film cameras now and do use them but not as much as I should but this FM2n is definitely going to change that.
I have just put my first roll of film through her and it was such a good feeling ( manual only was very liberating) and really slowed my photography down to a snails pace.
I cannot see myself shooting any sports with this camera even though it goes to 1/4000 sec but having to manage the aperture and shutter speed is not as easy as the Aperture priority I have been used to for the las 30 years or so.
Here are some shots of my lovely cameras messed about with in Photoshop 🙂
Nice collection!
Be careful, it can take over your life – I was frantically collecting in the 1980s, all rubbish stuff though, nothing really classy!
You have some nice Olympuses there! It’s better to collect vintage cameras than vintage cars, televisions, refrigerators, etc., simply because they’re smaller and easier to store.
