I find that most people in my life have at least one “thing” they are collecting. It is often an insight into their personality and it is fun to hear people talk about something they are passionate about.

I seem to be collecting vintage lenses. I stared by getting an adapter for my mirrorless camera and I just fell in love with the lovely character their ‘flaws’ give them.

I don’t understand “collecting”

Don’t get me wrong, there are a few categories of things I have a lot of, like film cameras, but that’s because I started with cheaper ones, and kept getting better ones as I became more sure that film photography was a thing I wanted to do.

But, for instance, I have friends who collect MLB bobbleheads just for the sake of collecting, and I’ll never understand that.

An ex had a collection of anime figures that cost him around 15,000 usd in total. Actual worth?

No need for game pass when I already got a collection already.

I collect all kinds of things! Vintage trading cards, vinyl records, comic books, pocket knives, old photos come to mind! I’ve scaled back somewhat in the last few years, but I like to add to them every now and then
