Collection by kamera king.

Here is my collection of vintage and classic cameras. My camera collection began in October of 2009 when I received my first camera from my grandmother, and I have been collecting ever since. As my collection grows I like to add unique and historic pieces to build and diversify my collection. Through my collecting and restoration of these beautiful vintage cameras, I like to think that I am giving them a new start in a world of seemingly identical digital cameras, dull and uninspired in design.

	Ansco: Rediflex	1950				A late 1940s pseudo TLR camera. Very basic design. Mine came with what appears to be a filter of some sort.
	Argus: Argus A Black	1936-1941	34085	12/16/12		Excellent condition. A historic American classic that started the "candid camera" era in American camera history. This was a gift from a vendor at a flea market who I buy from often.
	Argus: Argus C20 (C-Twenty)	1956-1958				This is an interesting rangefinder in that it is tan and brown colored. Definetely a nice looking camera. Unfortunately the shutter on this one is stuck and I can't seem to get it apart to fix it.
	Argus: Argus C3	1939-1966				A true American classic and a must-have for the collector
	Asahi: Pentax Auto 110	1979-1983	1034879			Very interesting subminiature slr camera. The only 110 slr system camera. My camera came with a flash unit and standard 50mm lens.

	Camera Corp. USA: Perfex Fifty-Five	c1940-1947	A30234			An American rangefinder with all the features of a leica or contax and then some! An ambitious attempt, but it lacked quality optics and workmanship was great. Mine still works and has a General Scientific lens.
	Canon: Canon A-1	1978	1364846	8/6/12		Quality single lens reflex camera. This was a gift from my uncle who bought it new in the late 1980s or early 90's. Has Saitex macro zoom lens.

	Canon: xap shot					One of the first, if not the first consumer level digital cameras, it was made in 1990. It took a large floppy disk to store images, and the pictures had to be displayed on a tv screen.
	Chinon: Chinon Auto 3001	1988				This was the first camera to feature multi auto focusing. It used three infrared beams to make focus extremely accurate. It was made around 1988, and was expensive compared to other compact cameras at that time.

	DIANA: Banner	c1960-1970s				Another Diana clone from the Great Wall plastic factory in Hong Kong. Mine is unopened in original blister pack.
	Ernemann: Bob II	1903-1926				This seems to be a pretty rare old foljding camera. It was made by Ernemann and could accept either roll film or plates. Unfortunately my example is missing its back and is not in very good overall condition. Hence the low price
	Ettelson: Mickey Mouse Camera	c1956
	Ihagee: Exakta V (Varex)	1950		12/8/11		The original Varex V, version 1.1 with a version 1 interchangeable waist level finder and Meyer Gorlitz Primoplan 58mm lens. A beautiful slr camera and the first 35mm slr to feature interchangeable viewfinders.

	Kodak Eastman: Kodak 35	1938-1948				Kodaks first American made 35mm rangefinder. Some call it ugly, I call it unique. Interestingly mine has a black painted rangefinder protrusion and dates to 1945.
	Kodak Eastman: Motormatic 35 R4	1965-1969				Found at an antique store.
	Kodak Eastman: Partytime	1980-1982				Had to buy this just because it was called the "party time" I thought that was funny. There are some rumors that this camera was offered as some sort of premium with tupperware in the early '80s.
