Camera Collecting Web Links
|

vintagephoto.tv
the Web site of an incurable photographica collector. Vintagephoto.tv features a highly interesting collection of cameras and camera related items. Scott, the owner of this site, seems not so much interested in the average camera but more in special cameras, mechanically, optically, historically or otherwise. Also some interesting paperwork such as a 1920s Contessa-Nettel sales broshure and a customer satisfaction leaflet for a Brownie 616 camera. The site loads very fast and is very easy to navigate. Also visit his links page, a lot of interesting links can be found there. |
