Collection by PartsUnknown.
I've chosen to focus my collecting primarily on SLR's from the five major Japanese producers from the '60's, '70's, and '80's. This does not mean that I will turn my nose up at a beautiful Ziess Ikon Rangefinder from the '50's, or a working Kodak bellows camera from the '40's. Especially if the price is right.Contact PartsUnknown
