The current state of my SLR collection. I managed to get a couple of these for under $10.

• Canon AE-1
• Nikon F (later Apollo model)
• Minolta SRT 201 (self-timer was jammed)
• Pentax Spotmatic (I used to have the Asahi version with a clip on light meter at some point as well)
• Zeiss Ikon Contaflex (Super B)
• Olympus OM 10
• Zenit E (Was working when I got it but the shutter ribbon came unglued, at least I can use the lens on the Spotmatic)

Not sure how they didn't pick an Olympus for the official camera of the Olympics but the Canon AE-1 is still a great camera. I found this one at a Buddhist/antique store for $35. The case is pretty beat up but aside from the front battery door it is like new.

The Canon P is one of my favorite shooters. A 1.4 for it is definitely on my list.

I've picked these up over the last couple of years at flea markets, antique stores, and craigslist (the pair of XAs was from a really cool guy who traveled around the world with them).

A different OM10 was actually my first SLR ever over 20 years ago, so I was pretty excited to find one in the wild with the manual adapter and the 1.4 lens. The infinity mini was a flea market find for $5 and is almost as sharp as the XA2.
