I took this photo a couple of nights ago, apart from my one studio light, this is the camera gear I use, 4 digital, 24 film, 2 instant.



Over the next few years some of these may move to the display only collection. For instance, I only have 5 packs of film for the Polaroid 210 top right in the freezer and while there is still some Fuji film for it in some stores it is no longer manufactured. Some of the newer cameras will soon be done as well. The Sony Mavica in the middle uses a recordable mini CD, those are hard to find and getting very expensive. There are 4 APS cameras, I have 32 rolls of film for them, and a local store that can process it, I do wonder which will go first, my stock or the processing?

Nice collection. You could shoot a different camera each day for a month.

I'm planning something similar, this year I'm shooting a 365 Instax using the Sofort, posting the results on Instagram. Next year I'm planning on shooting a 52 - a different camera every week.

This obviously means I need to buy another 22 working cameras. smile

If you're looking at the camera I'm thinking, right hand side, center, that's actually a Ihagee Duplex 6.5x9 plate camera dating from the late 1920's. Bottom center is a period roll film back I found that I use on it. It has an incredible Zeiss lens. I don't use it too often because there is so much detail in the negs it makes me not want to shoot 35mm ever again!

Ah. On going back to look, I see the difference. But still jealous. ;-)

I know what you mean about detail, as well.
