Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to getting involved as my "collection" grows. I attach a snap of it as it stands. Graflex Crown Graphic with original case, Polaroid back and roll film back. I have yet to put a film through it but will when I have a moment. It had a broken focus screen when I bought it. I got one on Ebay from the states so it is now in excellent condition. The Yashica, I have put a roll through and all seems well with it. The others, I haven't yet. I tend to buy things that I find beautiful and or interesting. Hence there is no rationale to the collection as yet. I also have for anyone who may be interested in that sort of thing, a Paillard Bolex M8 standard 8 projector and the matching camera. These were the first pieces of classic technology that I bought and I did so because, in my opinion, the projector is just a beautiful piece of design. That purchase set me off down a rocky road that led to the cameras and also to classic hifi. Long may it continue - providing, of course, my wife continues to indulge my little hobbies.

Hi, Jaybe, a Scot now living in France here. New to collecting. I have had a huge number of film cameras in my life and, like just about everyone, went digital and got rid of my 35mm and roll film cameras. I guess I am reliving my youth or something because I have developed an interest in the old technology again. In the last few months I have acquired a bit of an eclectic lot:
Yaschica Mat TLR Graflex Crown Graphic press camera Photax (35mm French Bakelite camera) Zeiss Ikon Contina L with Ikablitz 6 Flash
Looking forward to expanding this collection and learning about what others are collecting.
Jaybe
