What a fun little camera you have there, sir.

Hi Christopher. I haven't used it for years. Time to put a film through it methinks. Cheers, Howard

Thank you. This brings back memories. I used to have one of these but sold it a few years ago during a clear out of my collection.

Hi. Thanks for the comments. I'm going to have to thin my collection out soon too. Cheers, Howard

I have a question for you that has been on my mind for some time....how do you decide which camera to take with you when you want to shoot some photos? If I had your collection, I would probably go mad trying to decide which one to use. I have 12 cameras that I love, and I have often contemplated selling all but one just so I don't have to fight myself to decide which one to take with me. Do you have a favorite or two?

[@howpow]

Good question. I read it to my wife and she had a good laugh. I've put film through most of the cameras that I've reviewed just to test them. If I'm going on holidays I'll take my Sony alpha 7 with a couple of adapted vintage lens as my main camera, but always take at least one film camera. I guess my favorite rangefinders to use are my Konica Auto S2, Yashica Lynx 14, Minolta Hi-Matic 9 and Olympus SPn, and if I want to slow down even more my Konica IIa, it feels so beautiful just to hold. If I take an SLR it would probably be my Olympus OM1n. Don't hold me to these though I've just noticed my little Olympus RC looking at me. Cheers, Howard
