I've mentioned before here that I have a small collection of vintage and antique cameras inherited from my Dad - a couple of Leicas, Contaflex, Contax. Voigtlanders and a few others. all nice, a few non-working but all of interest. However they all reflect the cameras of my dad's time and interest in the 40's and 50's. Nice as they are, my own interests are different. I grew up with film SLR's, primarily Pentax, so I've decided that I want to build a little collection of the latter and shoot with them regularly. Currently I have: 2x LX's (one faulty going off to Miles Whitehead in the new year), 2x SP1000, an SP500, a Spotmatic and an MZ-5. I am aiming over time to acquire one of all the most popular models to try, which gives me something less expensive to look for GAS wise too! I also want to build a selection of SMC Takumar/Super Takumar lenses in both K and M42 mounts for them. I'm sticking to 35mm for the foreseeable, though I'd love to acquire 67 and 645 cameras too eventually if funds and opportunity permit.
I just wanted to share how I am focusing my hobby, as I know other people do similar with Canon, Nikon, Zeiss, Leica etc.
