Camera Collection
This is part of my camera collection. This is just the ones I had time to photograph. I have over 100 cameras at the moment but since I haven't counted them in a while, I don't really know exactly how many. According to the wife, I have too many. Is that possible?

I was incredibly lucky to be able to purchase this Hasselblad 500 CM (made in 1973) with a 80mm Carl Zeiss lens (made in 1972), a A12 back, split screen focus screen and the view finder for pretty cheap ($200CDN!). I couldn't pass up on this great price.
This camera is a medium format camera that results in square negatives using 120 or 220 roll film (12 or 24 photos) - depending on which film back you used. This particular copy was used in the local photo studio up until a few years ago. I can only imagine how many rolls of film was shot with this camera.
I later purchased an adapter to use that lens on my Canon 40D. I'm not really sure why I did that, but it was fun using that lens on the 40D (hard to focus though when using the 40D).
