Well hello fellow camera collectors. I'm Zach. I'm a 30 year old photographer living in Chicago. Antique and vintage cameras have become a passion of mine for many reasons, from the historical significance of 19th century wood cameras to the fine optics of classic vintage Leicas. Kodak and Polaroid are two other big names in my camera collecting world but I am currently and always have been attracted to Kodak Cameras. I look forward to absorbing your knowledge and sharing a passion.

I try with good advice from some of our generous members. Be patient with those "some people". Let them handle an attractive camera (while sitting at a table of course) and watch as their eyes gradually light up with appreciation. You might make a convert. Mickey |

My son - haalbeeld.nl - shoots a lot more than I do, and strangely, all my precious Canon equipment naturally finds its way to his apartement... He only needs more space for my Zeiss collection:-( (well, :-)
