Rare Cameras
Sometimes I'm fortunate enough to handle some really unusual, beautiful, rare or just plain weird cameras. I'm a dealer so I don't collect them - I leave that to you. But I do love them, miss them when they go and so this is the record of some of the best that have passed my way and onwards. Please ask if I still have them - sometimes they stay with me a while. Or just if you want to know about them - I usually get expert in such beasts and I'm a good researcher.
