Camera collection

During the 1980s we collected old cameras, none too discriminately but with an eye for anything pretty or interesting. 11 years ago I photographed a bunch of them.

This gallery is incomplete: captions aren't all there yet, and neither are all the cameras.

Wow, that's a lot of neat old cameras, John. It must have taken you awhile to collect all of these.

Quite a collection of vintage goodies.

Love your collection, John. The screw mount Leica's are little gems. I had several, including my favorite, a IIIg. I think it would be fun to take the Nikon F out for a spin!

Quite a collection. Do you ever use any now days? May not be long and you won't be able to get film. Or get it processed!

That's a great collection!
