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

It's been a long time since I came to admire your images, and what surprises with all these new cameras I didn't know! A big bravo and my best wishes with my vote.

Petros Labrakos		19-Jun-2016 14:22
wonderful Collection!

Rodney Land		29-Sep-2015 16:45
Do appreciate all the effort and time you have spent, putting all these camera pictures, on line. Really have " enjoyed " the little comments you have put below each camera also. Thanks for sharing ...

André Bessot		29-Sep-2015 14:29
Five years already I did not visit your galleries, time is too quick... How is your life? Cheers. André

NeilG		15-Nov-2014 14:11
Excellent. Inspirational collection! V

Dan Chusid		14-Feb-2013 04:19
Nice collection! I'm working on my own, but not sure if I'll ever be able to get them (all) posted on Pbase. They date from 1895 on up to the 70's. Your gallery is getting me motivated :)

Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography		02-Dec-2012 23:46
Wow! Impressing collection indeed, Voted.

Marjan Schavemaker		29-May-2012 13:06
An amazing collection, Colin, thanks for sharing!

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

Mary Bowles		20-Nov-2011 14:56
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.

Paolo Peggi (aka Bracciodiferro)		23-Jul-2011 22:17
I am envious... :) Paolo BV

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

Gilles MICHEL		25-Mar-2011 07:26

Quite an impressive collection Colin! You are a die-hard shutterbug! BV :0)

Guest		26-Jun-2010 05:34
nice collection~ One day if u wan to sale pls pls let me know~

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		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		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!

So many cameras... so little time... excellent gallery Colin! V.

Danny Tuason		28-Jan-2009 19:00
Very nice set of equipment shown here!!! Big vote!!!

Dave Hein		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		24-Jan-2009 02:06
Lovely collections of classic cameras. These are priceless. Vote.

an nguyen		09-Sep-2008 20:11
Am I dreaming??? What a major collection. Sir, your treasure chest is full of treasure stuff that I can only dream of... :(

BleuEvanescence		28-Aug-2008 14:22
A camera for each occasion...but all of this can't replace the beauty that first lives in your head... Impressive collection.

Guest		15-Aug-2008 10:57

Very emotional gallery!

Guest		28-Mar-2008 01:46
Wow you've gat a few cameras.

André Bessot		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

blizzard		19-Mar-2008 13:45

André Bessot		01-Mar-2008 10:46
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

FrankB		26-Feb-2008 01:29
beautiful collection...beautifully presented...V

Kiriakos Korakis		16-Feb-2008 11:50

Excellent way to present your cameras Colin. Your collection is full of precious gems and some of them are missing in my own one. Regards. André

Jon		12-Jan-2008 23:10
Quite nice! If not an addiction, certainly a compulsion!! You are NOT alone!!

Peter Chou		06-Jan-2008 13:26
Interesting collection of vintage film cameras! As a film rangefinder myself I understand the compulsion to collect these mechanical work of art! :)

Paradoxal Studio Classic		05-Jan-2008 23:55
What a gold mine ! A real treasure !

Guest		05-Jan-2008 15:29
Wow! You certainly have an awesome collection!

Joe Thornton		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.

Guest		02-Jan-2008 07:22
Wow! I'm humbled :o) Beautiful collection! HAPPY 2008 :O)

Latifa Messaoudi		30-Dec-2007 10:24

Naomi		30-Dec-2007 01:06
What a wonderful collection! You must have lots of fun with these cameras.

Michael Tauber		29-Dec-2007 05:23
Great collection! I love film photography and solely – deliberately – am using film for all my pictures.
