Words fail me as I look at this antique collection of cameras. No doubt, in a few years, my fine digital Leica will, like them, become obsolete. I feel there is an unexplainable sadness to it. V.

I've been building a collection too, ever since buying 1100+ cameras last year. A daunting task to put together a gallery like this.

Bonjour Jean-Luc. L'avantage en ne précisant pas quelles sont vos nouveautés, est de devoir passer en revue toutes vos images. Cela demeure un plaisir qui reste constant. Merci et cordialement à vous. En plus cela me permet de constater que Colin est toujours actif... André

Beautiful gallery of a magnificent camera collection. Some look familiar, but many are new to me (even though they are old).

What a great gallery and collection you have. Several of these I have owned over the years but for the most part they were on the lower levels.

Milan Vogrin		05-Dec-2009 20:12
Great collection!

fxhautefeuille		16-Oct-2009 04:57
Collection magnifique, de superbes pièces

Guest		18-Sep-2009 10:13
Extraordinary colecção that I finished to see. It made me to back and to revive many years of my life to have chance to review these wonders, until " pinhole" , that I have constructed with a box of card and used. Wonderful work, a good contribution for the history of the photograph. Grateful. Extraordinaire collection que j'ai fini de voir. Il m'a fait retirer et revivre beaucoup d'années de ma vie avoir occasion de réviser ces merveilles. Jusqu'à la " pinhole" , que j'ai fabriqué avec une boîte de carte et j'ai utilisé. Merveilleux travail, une bonne contribution pour l'histoire de la photographie. Reconnaissant.

Guest		07-Jul-2009 08:49
Very good collection.

Guest		19-May-2009 23:09
You and me both Jean. Digital photography is a totally different art form, with it's place but it can never have the soul of analogue photography. Every time I take a picture with my M6's I feel connected to a long tradition of great masters from whom I might learn

Guest		12-May-2009 20:18
