"As one considers one's pictures less, one produces fewer truly considered pictures" - Stephen Shore

For  a while now I've been a little perplexed about my photography style. It seems that I've lost the feeling. Instead of riding along on my bike and finding interest in the way the light falls on something, I merely take photos of damn near everything. The scourge of digital photography I suppose.

So I bought three 35mm SLRs and a 35mm compact.

So over a period of two weeks I picked up:

1966 Yashica TL-Super (Japan) - M42 mount, needle metered.
1979 Fujica ST605n (Japan) - M42 mount, needle metered (TTL).
1985 Nikon F-301 (Japan) - Uses all my Nikon lenses, auto-exposure, the first Nikon with auto film advance!!!
1954 Voigtlander Vito B (Germany) - Fixed 50mm F3.5, no metering, from the oldest name in cameras (Est. 1756).

And a couple of lenses:
Tokina 35mm F2.8
Yashinon 50mm F1.7
Yashikor 135mm F2.8
Yashica 200m F3.5
All up somewhere near $300 with $100 dollars worth of film processing kit in the mail.

I'm having a ball getting shots and can't wait to start developing the film!!
