Cameraderie



What's this site all about?

I was given my first camera - an Agfa Autostar Pocket - when I was 10 years old. It didn't take long for the photography bug to bite (especially as my father was a professional photographer, and always seemed to be holding a camera himself), and I soon moved in to the world of 35mm.

That was the birth of my camera collection.

Over the years I gradually became somewhat more focussed in which cameras I kept, and which were put up for sale. These days I concentrate on a seemingly narrow range - Japanese half-frame cameras of the '50s and '60s - although there are thousands of subtle variations here.

This site documents my camera collection, looking most at the abovementioned half-frames; with occasional references to a modern DSLR or two.

Grab a cool drink, put your feet up and enjoy.


NB : I'd love to find out more about these cameras, and hear about those you've got in your collection. Or the one you just picked up on eBay.
