Well, here it is... All the old cameras I have in my possession (with one exception). These were my parents from long ago, they have since given them to me.

1. The whole lot...


2. Nikon FE (1978) Mounted Vivitar 28mm F2.8 (Forgot the year on this one)


3. Nikon FM2 (1982) Nikon MD-12 Attached Mounted Nikkor 50mm F1.4 (1980)


4. Opps, out of focus (my bad)... Not sure about this one, its marked: Kodak k451 Vigilant Jr 620 (1936)


5. Ansco Shur Shot (1932)


6. Kodak Brownie Holiday Flash. *Giggles* (1953-1957)


7. Ansco No. 2A Buster Brown (Don't know year)


8. Kodak Brownie (Early 1900ish, I believe...) This camera was only $1 when it first came out, it was the first camera to really allow the "snapshot". Revolutionized the industry obviously...


9. Then there's the video camera... Sears Easi-Load C-161. Can't find any info on this, didn't look too hard though


Now for the exception. *Drumroll*

10. Nikon F5. The gem of them all. My dad paid $3000 for the body when it first was out. Mounted is the 80-200mm F2.8. Mom bought this for him as a Christmas present. Paid around $5000 for it (this was also when it was first introduced).



Edit: Fixed...

Wow load that FM2 up and start shooting!!!
That's a sick collection, So jealous of that F5.

You use a Nikon or Canon for your own shots? If you use Nikon I would totally borrow that lens lol!

I actually dug all this out to get the FM2 out and try shooting with it

Nikon person! Haha, My family would disown me if I weren't I steal their lenses all the time don't worry. Haha, its kinda sad but my favorite is the 50mm 1.4 thats on the FM2, I use it all the time with my d80 (have to shoot fully manual). But i use their other lenses all the time too, I actually used their 35-70mm 2.8 to snap these

The F5 was the first camera I ever shot with believe it or not...

Oh my freaking God! You are so lucky I would do almost anything to get one of those pro f/2.8 zoom lenses lol.
Does that 80-200 f/2.8 lens have VR (image stabilizer) too? hmm 5 grand sounds a bit too much for that lens

Haha, no need to be jealous. Parents are moving to the Philippines and taking the F5 and their 35-70 f2.8 and the 80-200 f2.8. But they are leaving me with the house haha... That lens isn't the new one with VR... Keep in mind that lens was bought some time ago (It was bought with the F5 when it first was out), it still goes for about $1k last time I checked... The new model with VR runs around $2k and it is the next lens on my shopping list, hopefully I'll have it by Christmas

-.- now I am even more jealous. So instead of giving you the lenses they gave you a house. Wow! and you sound like you are disappointed or something

I should have clarified. They are moving for about 2 years. And I get the house to myself. Far from disappointed, believe me. My dad's company is also buying me a first class plane ticket each year to go and visit them. Stoked for that trip...

-.- lucky you
I have never been to the Philippines but I know it's basically an island or islands in the middle of the Pacific so I am sure you will be able to get some really awesome pictures when you visit your parents just don't forget to share them with us

Thats some nice cameras dawg

Ansco Shur Shot (1932)

This is the best : DDD
