I am a bit different than most of you because for me cameras are TOYS. I have a large collection of film cameras ranging from 4X5 inch view, down through 16mm.

I use Digital cameras from Olympus (550UZ, e-500, e-510)

and buy cameras and parts at Pawn Shops, Flea Markets and from E-Bay. I try to keep the costs down and will use adapters to share lenses among different brands.

( if they break, or are bought broken --- I get to open them ! )

I take pictures of allmost anything, but mostly just for fun.
