Let's see, there was supposed to be some logic to this
group of cameras:

Oly- I figured digital's strength is normal to tele
and zooms, so I kept:

24/2 Kiron
24/2.8 Zuiko
28/2 Zuiko (my favorite)
50/1.4 >1.1M
50/1.8 MIJ
85/2 (other favorite, just couldn't get rid of it)
100/200/4 Vivitar only tele  length I kept

When I was looking at getting a high end rf, I figured
that SLR's main advantage over rf is zoom lenses , so
I kept my 35-70/3.5-4.5 Zuiko and a Vivitar 70-150/3.8

I'd like to reduce what I keep to 3 or 4 lenses and
eventually sell the Kiron, 50/1.4 and the zooms.

Oly bodies

OM 1 MD black
OM 1n (3)
OM 2n (2)
OM G (2) 
OM 2000 (just got yesterday- doesn't have the build
quality of the OM G's (even those non system cameras)
and is way loud - talked me out of a Bessa R2, which
is the same body. 

I'll probably keep the OM G's - cheap fun - and either
the 1n or 2n (I can see the display of the 1n better
in dim light but like the auto/ manual option) The
2000 I don't know yet.

Rangefinders

Oly 35EC (just like the Rollei scale focus ;) but
automated, I have 3.
Minolta 7S II- great lens, small, auto or manual and
extremely quiet.
FED 2 (2) with 50/2.8, 50/3.5 collapsable, 50/2 and
85/2 LTM lenses the 85/2 is sharper than my Zuiko 85/2
?? The FEDs are the most fun of all my cameras, and
get the most attention from on lookers.

Yashica 124 MAT TLR

... and my project cameras, to be rebuilt and painted
black.

Oly 35RC- 8
Konica Auto S2 - 6

That's all folks.
