I did amassive cull of everything but the D5200. IAnd my tripod.
I sold of my FM2, and lenses. Including my faves, 75-150, 70-200 f2.8
I donated another film Nikon to the local community college that was one of the ones with more electronics, plus studio lights and drops. The last one to go was my Zone VI 4X5. Plus all it's paraphanalia. Our little photo group had a joke that the next piece of camera equipment was going to be a pack mule.....
