Introduction

I collect and use vintage cameras. For more on how I do this and how you can do it too, see our page on buying, repairing, and using vintage cameras. This page is a list of my personal camera collection and the status of each unit. As I get new cameras repaired and tested, I'll add links here to the photos taken of and by the cameras. I sell a lot of cameras once I get them working, so I may not still have a particular camera on this list; but feel free to ask, I'm usually happy to loan them to other members of the space. If you want to know more about me, see my profile.

Working, Tested Cameras

This is a list of cameras in good condition, some of which I've repaired. I've actually shot at least one roll of film with each of these. Each link includes photos of the camera and photos taken by the camera.
