Psst; Anyone want a Camera?

[pepper]

As most people know, my Dad passed away in July, well I've been clearing his house out because it has to be sold, due to it being half owned by the bank (equity release)

Well I've picked up his collection of cameras, and there are around 125 camera bodies alone. with an average of three lenses for each body there is quite a lot to sort out! Hence why I've not been posting on here much.

I'm starting to put them on ebay and have so far sold most of his Rollei collection and there are Canon, Nikon Pentax Voigtlander, Zeiss Ikon, Leica and loads of other cameras still to sort out.

My Dads friend and I had estimated it to be around 50 cameras (we both knew there were quite a few around the house) but we were gob smacked at the huge amount of cameras there actually were!

Yup 2 minox cl and GL I think with a matching flash IIRC, my Dad liked his mini cameras, I've just sold off all the Rollei 35's

There are two Minolta zoom SLR, Mk1 and Mk11 and a lovely little Pentax Auto 110 with separate lenses.

I'm trying to take a few photos of the cameras so that I can remember them all.

WOW! The cameras are beautiful. Your father obviously really enjoyed photography. Good luck in finding them all good homes.

I haven't started with the really lovely cameras yet, My Dad had 9 Leicas with loads of Summicron lenses.
