Vintage film cameras, from the sixties to the nineties
Film cameras from the sixties to the nineties: 35mm SLRs and compacts, Super 8 cine cameras, medium format and instant cameras, with the lenses, film and straps that go with them.
Every camera page names what matters before you buy: the battery it takes and whether it is still made, the lens mount, the year, and the condition, how it looks and how it works.
What is the difference between a mechanical and an electronic camera?
On a mechanical camera the shutter runs on springs and the battery only powers the meter. On an electronic one, no battery means no camera. Why a mechanical SLR still works explains what that means when you buy.
Which camera should I start with?
It depends on what you want the camera to do while you use it. Which 35mm camera should you buy sets out the four sensible answers.
Where can I read about a specific model?
The models we handle most are written up once, with their specification, common faults and what fixes them: the models.
