Default Re: Vintage film cameras

Speaking of old cameras. I went to pick up some picture frames in Shrewsbury market to find a small camera and film processing shop had opened next to it. The owner was a very friendly chap called Will and let my fondle some of his wares. This includes a Pentax 110 and a Leica R8. The lenses on the Pentax were like toys, tiny, and he had the complete kit of extras. The Leica was an ugly brute but the viewfinder was the brightest and clearest I've used. He had all the usual stuff in his cabinets including a lot of canon and Pentax SLRs. He also had a Pentax 645 but I didn't get to play with that.

Clearly collecting cameras is a notifiable desease.
