The other problem is batteries, they no longer make the little mercury batteries the meter uses.
I would like to join since I use two different Graflex 4x5's and a 35mm pentax for my shooting. Atterbury Dodd, you can go to any camera store and get some lens cleaning coths and they will work just fine on the lenses. The early lenses were not coated with anything an lens cleaning cloths are designed to be used on coated lenses so they are very soft and fine.

I've got a small collection, but never really got too into camera collecting.
My first Argus C3, with a flash and leather case. The case is in mediocre condition, and for some reason, after I took a set of pictures, the shutter quit working for, apparently, no reason, is this fixable, or should I just give up and get a new one (they're only $30-$40 apiece)?

My second C3, I got this one for free because I ordered one on eBay, and they sent me the wrong one, so when I asked about returning it, he just refunded my money and told me to keep the camera!

My Kodak Brownie Flash Six-20, this one was my Grandpa's camera when he was a kid, he gave it to me a couple years ago.
My not-so-great Polaroid from the seventies or eighties.
