How many collectors actually shoot their treasures?

[WILBA]

Ive become a collector of sorts, but buying VGC ones to use and experience. I still have a few new in box from around 1980 that I havent shot yet and probably wont. To some people that's like having a girl friend and not using her, keeping her nice and tight and tidy for the next bloke 😃

But when you have a "few" I dont feel like i'm missing out at all. Here's a couple of pics of a couple of BNIB that you would be unlikely to pick up any time soon....

i was ok until you brought up the 80 pics. then i got quite moist

Cheers John and Gents, the Kestock HW80 is a favourite of many people and I still havent heard of another in this configuration.

I like my Theobens and was using these two today. I bought them used in VGC, so might as well enjoy them. I can't remember seeing a GrandPrix Imperator SLR88, I guess they were sold in very limited numbers due to their high cost.
