I'm not affiliated with this site and have nothing to gain by mentioning it, but they are selling a chart of the recent history of cameras (since 1888) illustrated by individual models, a bit reminiscent of the "Leica Family Tree" posters we've grown familiar with.

 

I'd quibble with some of their choices (why include the Minox C but not the Riga Minox/Minox A?) but it's an interesting assemblage. One quarter-plate camera, otherwise mainly roll-film, miniature and digital. Leica has several bodies on the poster, though strangely the site has chosen to represent the M9 by an image of the M9 Titanium.

If These are supposed to be iconic or landmark cameras, then there are many missing, and I won't get into that debate. But...

How many of the listed cameras have people owned? For me the number is 9:

Kodak Brownie

Nikon F

Olympus Pen

Nikon SP

Rollei 35

Polaroid SX-70

Canon 5D

Canon 5Dii

Leica M9

How many do you still own? For me, 2 (M9 and the Polaroid, which lives in a drawer)

Which one do I regret selling the most: I think the Rollei 35.

 

It would be interesting to see how others come out on this.
