Something old
I mentioned to my mother a while back that I wanted to start collecting old cameras and display them in my office. Well, she has started the collection for me. So far she has found 3 cameras and an old tripod in different thrift stores. The first one is a Polaroid Land Camera Model 800 built from 1957 – 1962. Click here to see a quick video showing how to operate this camera.
This is a very heavy camera.
Thanks for visiting!

They are. One of the several reasons I stopped taking pictures in the 80’s-90’s. A decent camera plus a couple of lenses (a wide angle and a zoom?) just weighs too much and is too bulky. 😉

Timely post. I was at a shop this week and picked up a Brownie camera for $14 just because I remember it as a child. 🙂
