Let's see ....

Balding, bearded guy in his 50s ... started with a Practica 35 years ago ... moved to Nikons ...

I wonder who I know who fits that sort of description?

Thanx. Lovely stuff

[CraigVTR]

Only 5% of his collection.

I watch the Antiques Roadshow and saw his collection awhile back. Amazing, to say the least.

[Reschsmooth]

This guy has a Nikon museum in Rotterdam which apparently, is just amazing. What he doesn't know about Nikon cameras doesn't exist.

[surenj]

Whoa!

Would have been nice to see his photos as well.

[Matt. K]

He didn't take any photos.

[gummi]

Thanks for the post.

Simply amazing - how did he afford collecting all that? I love the fact that the Nikon F they played with was actually "bullet-proof!"

Way Cool!

If only there was a Canon collector like him!

That would require Canons being collectible in the first place.

The A1, of course.

[surenj]

A1 I agree....

[aim54x]

so does this mean you keep buying A-1s to add to the collection??

[surenj]

No Cameron, Just one A1 to add to ya Nikon collection.

I'll never understand why people collect old junk

[Mr Darcy]

We don't collect old junk. We just don't throw something good away just because it isn't in daily use anymore.

[Matt. K]

Aaahhh...my long gone Nikon F....nothing sounded as good as the shutter on a Nikon F!

Exactly what we did.

The pity is that I used to have two of these ....

What a great way to put it.

[Killakoala]

That probably explains why I still have a 12 year old car when I also have a 2 year old car Both bought from new.

I agree - the sound is very reassuring, as is the body construction and feel of the whole package. Now, if only I can find a reasonably priced waist level finder for mine! Or even a non-metered prism.
