I'd be inclined to agree on that notion... but it would beg getting re-married first, to have a wife to replace... and after the first one I am in absolutely NO rush to do that!
The camera count in this house is more than I have fingers for... I can see half a dozen from where I am sat, and theres probably as many again just out of site I could see if I stood up or shifted a box or bit of paper!
Kodak Retinette..... My grandfathers preciouse 35mm camera... its not a camera, its a bit of family history... This would be non negotiable!
Konika C35.... My other Grandad's camera; "Clever people these Japaneses!", another bit of Family history, not a camera, not negotiable!
Ziess Ikonta folder... My Gt Uncle's camera; the subject of much argument between Grandad and Uncle at family gatherings over the merits of 120 vs 35mm, yet more family history, not a camera, not negotiable.....
Olympus XA2 number one..... with a scratched lens.... numbers two and three are in perfect working order and much better cosmetic condition, but No! was my 11th birthday present, and traveled around the world with me taking probably half of my 35mm photo's for twenty years.... more History, not a camera, not negotiable...
Is there a pattern forming yet?
WHAT!!!! USELESS CLUTTER!!!!! I retort indignantly..... tell you what... go into the bathroom and count how many bottles of lotions, potions and brews there are in there... then come back and tell me how many of them have any more than dregs in the bottom, and how many you have actually used in the last year.....you want to talk about USELESS CLUTTER, maybe we should go see how many unused bettaware upside down chicken roasting racks or microwave potato-baking spikes there are..... ooh, yeah, a lot of them may have been left behind by the ex... yes, you CAN chuck that useless clutter away.... But the CAMERAS!!!!! Not a chance!!!
