Have you ever regretted selling a camera before you got a chance to use it? I have (many times), and this is one I let get away.

For a die-hard camera collector like myself, mint new camera sets are the pinnacle of collecting (for me, at least). After the chase is over, the reality of ownership sets in. Should I or should I not use my newly found toy? I have used its camera cousin, the Yashica T2, and found it an exceptional camera.

Here is another set that’s still new in its original box (as fresh as it was from the Nikon distributor back in 1978).

Have you owned a camera set that was essentially new and then never used it? Tell me in the comments. Happy New Year!

Thanks for stopping by, Chris
