CAMERAS Photo Gallery by Colin Clarke at pbase.com

CAMERAS

Here are a few cameras I have, which you may see mentioned at times in my galleries.
Many I have owned for a long time, and used many times. The others, mostly, I have been
given. A few I have acquired quite inexpensively. I do not have any 'new' cameras.

Basically, all film cameras are a light tight box, with a lens and shutter. If they are (1) still light
tight, (2) the lens is present and can be focused, and (3) the shutter still works,
they will make images. If they don't work, I still have them because I am addicted.

****Please treat yourself to viewing other collections on Pbase,****
... such as the Museum quality portfolio of Andre,
... the beautifully usable treasure chest of Kaden
... the ever growing machinery of Kiriakos, ... and
the large, diverse and interesting collection of Jean-Luc

Fantastic gallery, impressive collection - thanks for sharing! Big Vote. ted

Well, Colin, I knew you had a collection - but this gallery is a wonderful showcase for your many little, and not-so-little gems. I do admire your polite, calm,informative and well stated put-down for your cowardly 'Guest' and his rude comments. Keep on keeping on.

Bracciodiferro	PM reply	23-Jul-2011 22:17
I am envious... :) Paolo BV

Karen Stuebing	PM reply	16-Jun-2011 22:00
Wow, you really have quite a collection! This is like visiting a virtual museum of film cameras. V.

Colin Clarke	PM reply	15-Jun-2011 12:14
Dear Guest ! Yes, it is true. But not so obscene I think. Many of them are those I have purchased to use during the 55+ years I have actually been making photographs. (I am not a young man.) I have never "traded in". Many others I have been given by friends and neighbours, or by my family members. And the rest have been bought very cheaply at Charity Shops etc (where the proceeds have gone to a good cause.) So, my conscience is clear. What I think IS obscene is that so many film cameras are being thrown away instead of being recycled. BTW, I don't view this collection as mine - one day it will all be in some place where others can view the history. :-)) Thanks for the visit. Colin

Guest	PM reply	14-Jun-2011 21:18
Am I to assume that you own all of these cameras. If so I find it obscene

Just Passing thru....		06-Apr-2010 04:38
I just started collecting cameras early last year. The first one that caught my attention is a dirty Pentax Spotmatic at a local Salvation Army Store. I bought it because my Dad had one and got stolen a long time ago. I have quite a few now; though not as impressive as yours. I get mine mostly from thrift stores I come across while driving to different places I go. One I consider unique is a Toyoca 6 folding camera; my latest -Mamiya ZE2.

André Bessot	PM reply	07-Mar-2010 14:25
Hello Colin. It is a long time I did not visit your collection gallery. It is gently growing as I can see! Your style is always so pure. I like your Brownie Flash Six-20. Cheers. André

Fay Stout	PM reply	05-Jan-2010 20:05
A wonderful collection of cameras! I can remember licking the flash bulbs before inserting them for a picture. My children are on super 8 movies... no sound! What I would give to hear their little voices as children. Technology... some days I curse it, but much of the time I praise it. Just wish I could keep up with it!

Very nice set of equipment shown here!!! Big vote!!!

Dave Hein	PM reply	26-Jan-2009 10:43
To call this impressive doesn't do it justice. I'm almost afraid to even suggest you do a gallery of your lenses. It would probably make me cry. :)

Vince	PM reply	24-Jan-2009 02:06
Lovely collections of classic cameras. These are priceless. Vote.

André Bessot	PM reply	24-Mar-2008 15:02
As I see, your collection becomes bigger and bigger, or is that only new pictures of olds owned cameras! Your images are always so good, thank you Colin. How to put your Internet address under your name, like you do for me, Kaden and Kiriakos? Sincerely. André

Hello Colin, You must explain me how you make the slideshow at the beginning of your gallery. It is a very good idea. I just finish to arrange my own cameras gallery which becomes smaller: only one picture for each camera! With all my best. André

Interesting collection of vintage film cameras! As a film rangefinder myself I understand the compulsion to collect these mechanical work of art! :)

Joe Thornton	PM reply	02-Jan-2008 17:55
Colin, This gallery is out of this world. Man I love the Zeiss Ikon! If you like the M3, you will appreciate the viewfinder of the Zi. The extra stop of light is also a bonus. It's not built with metal and brass like the Leica, but it is not a Leica, it's a Zeiss Ikon.

Paula Couselo	PM reply	02-Jan-2008 07:22
Wow! I'm humbled :o) Beautiful collection! HAPPY 2008 :O)
