What Else Do You Collect Besides Firearms?

I don't collect anything.................................
But I have managed to accumulate a number of things.....................
Along with my accumulation of firearms...........at one time we had 6 ATVs from a 1983 Honda Big Red 3-wheeler to a 2012 Polaris RZR....... sold the smallest a 90cc 4wheeler to a friend for his grandkids.
Also knives.....the accumulation seemed to have started about the time I started watching "The Walking Dead"!! The big knives are mostly Ka-Bar and Hogue.
Seiko automatic Divers watches..... seem to have accumulated also!

Velvia is very much a love-or-hate film, but I happen to love it. You do have to nail the exposures with it, though(although underexposing by 1/3 stop or so can open the film up). It's interesting to me that you found it too cool for your taste-one of the things Velvia is noted for is how warmly it tends to render reds and yellows. I wonder if maybe you tried 100F, which eliminates a lot of the warmth of the original Velvia, new Velvia 50, and Velvia 100(no F).
I was never a Kodachrome fan either, even though I know people rave about it. I found that the contrast made it difficult to shoot well, and even with the exposure correct I found it a bit on the dull side. Even so, I did shoot a few rolls in 2010 as a last hurrah. Apparently Kodak Alaris is investigating bringing it back, and if they do I'll support them although it won't be a mainstay film for me.

Knives. I have to add more words to this reply. According to the lil window that just popped up. Why it can't accept the one word is dumb.
As you wish ...... 430 Deere from the 50's .... not any of the new Ertl / foreign owned and made modern examples.
Had just gotten started collecting watches (only real keepers are several certified Omega Constellations and Seamasters, and a series of Seiko 7A series chronometers) and accumulating a pile of watch repair tools and supplies, when I got hit with arthritis in my hands. Now, as noted elsewhere, I have no depth perception.. If anybody wants to trade S&W revollvers for a room full of watch repair tools and cbinets full of obscure watch crystals, holler!
Then went to collecting--no, accumulating--old cast iron American - made woodworking machinery--easier to put wrenches on than watch parts, and less likely to vanish if dropped. Still working on all that, since most of what I have will require restoration once the surgeo nsays I can break a sweat without blowing out my remaining eye.

A man after my own heart... neat watches and lots of variations...
As for my current collecting, since I no longer work I only collect aluminum cans, one of these days I hope to have enough accumulated to get another Smith & Wesson..
Problem is, all those cans make it hard to hold up the cardboard sign down on the highway... and getting them home, well......

My 7 year old grandson and I collect WWII items, mostly US and German helmets but most anything that catches our attention. When he comes over my house the first thing he wants to do is watch an old WWII movie or documentary.

7 years old? Wow.... he must have served in WWII in his previous life.

You would think so. He got into trouble at school a few weeks back for relating whatever the teacher was talking about to things that happened in WWII. His knowledge of it shocks me at times!
When I was a kid I collected hot wheel cars. Besides revolvers I loved collecting vintage English 3-speed bicycles, but I had to sell them all off when I had my kids and have yet to get anymore. Most people up here think every old rusty bike is worth thousands because they saw one on the history channel.
Also not really a collection but I am interested in anything civil war. And I do have a few old books.

Hot Wheels.... I have thousands. 95% of them unopened. Treasure Hunts, lots of box sets, collectors editions, errors, etc.
Also coins. Have coins (and some bills) from all over the world, lots of pre EU money.
And finally, records. Not a huge collection, but most all is vintage 60s and up classic rock, prog, etc.

I just came in from my shop where I listen to CDs my friend copied for me. Tonight's listen, Ten Years After Bluest Blues.
He gave me so many CDs. Collection? Not really but kinda.
