Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

It always struck me as odd that they were gloss black and not matt. Seems he had a liking for the black versions!
Presumably the point of black bodies was to make them less conspicuous, but the gloss black still reflected enough light to produce tell-tale flashes; though possibly not as much as silver bodies.

Some people call me 'strange'.
I prefer 'unconventional'.
But I'm willing to compromise and accept 'eccentric'.

No body would have bought them if they were matt. I bought two black Spotmatics and it was purely because I liked the look of the camera. I wasn't bothered about being invisible

I remember the ads in the photo magazines: "Add $10 for professional black finish"...
