Here are a few of mine.

I can't verify the dates on most. In fact, I'm only certain of one. So please bear with me. :eusa_doh:

Voightlander Vito II:

Since everyone else seems to have one, here's one of my two Argus C3s:

Minolta 7s Rangefinder and case:

Minolta Autocord:

For the 8mm fans, my One Nine:

Not cameras, but they qualify, I'm sure. My two DW-68 Light Meters:

This Calumet 4X5 was given to me by a friend; I've never used it:
Calumet-4X5-a.jpg


And the favorite of my collection, my 1967 Hasselblad 500C:

I have many more, much older cameras, but they're in storage.

I have two Argus C3 cameras also along with a telephoto & wide angle auxiliary lens. In addition I also have a Kodak and a Voigtlander and can't remember the model name. However they are put away right now as we are doing some remodeling so I can't take pictures of them to post. As soon as the remodeling is done I will. Almost forgot I have a light meter that will work with the Argus C3s.

I hauled the rest of my collection out of storage and took a few more pictures. This isn't everything: I'll add the rest later.

828 format.

620 format.

After a few hours of shooting, I got a little creative. I'll post the whole camera at another time.
4X5 format.

Hey Eyemo, what does the cool looking desk mic go to? I've got one desk mic in my collection, not too sure how old it is. It's a D 104 Silver Eagle.

something like this:

that's very cool! Microphones catch my eye almost as quick as camera's. I think the D-104's were originally for CB radio's, but mine has been modified(plug only) for Ham radio..

Here is my collection:

1941 Speed Graphic Anniversary Edition. I also have a flash for that one that is not pictured.

Yet another 1941 Speed Graphic Anniversary Edition. I use both regularly to take pictures.
eq5.jpg


An Argus C-3 from 1951. Use it rarely but still takes great pictures.
eq7.jpg


A Bell&Howell Filmo Sportster 8mm film camera. I got two of those. Don't know the exact year, mid-30s to mid-40s. Both work.
eq9.jpg


Bell&Howell 8mm movie projector - same era as the cameras.
eq10.jpg


Bell&Howell Filmo 70A 16mm film camera from the early 20s. Works perfectly.
eq11.jpg


Bell&Howell Filmo 70D 16mm film camera, early 1940s. Better than the 70A due to the three revolving lenses.
eq12.jpg


Bell&Howell Filmo 16mm film projector. 30s or 40s.
eq13.jpg


Also, I own a couple of accessories for the Speed Graphic - lots of film holders, a camera case, a tripod and lots of flash bulbs. Also, I own a Weston Meter from the late 30s.

Allbest,

Jens

Thanks, Eyemo, I really love to use that stuff, too... It's not like the modern, fully automated stuff, you have to do everything and know what you're doing. Plus, you don't just snap away like you do with digital, because it's a) really expensive and b) a lot of work to change film, etc. :)

Especially with the Speed Graphics, the negative quality is amazing. With the Filmo, I once shot a roll of film (Fomapan), had it developed and viewed it with the old projector and - hadn't it been for the modern cars and clothing - it look like it had been shot in the 30s. Great stuff.

I have a Baby Brownie that belonged to my Aunt. I have yet to get film for it to test it out. Anyone worked with one of those?

I have had my brownie hawkeye since I was 9 (36 years!), it takes 620 which is no longer manufactured. What size film does yours take?

Here's a few items from my working collection. The typewriter is a 1930s Oliver portable as used by Winston Churchill. The camera on the right ( z Contax III) has since been sold:

Very nice!... If you plan on selling another Contax let me know;) .. I'm after one. The last two I had are completely jammed after an actor playing Capa took them swimming in salt water:eusa_doh: .. (We kind of new that was going to happen..but it still bugged me big time)..:mad:

That's a nice looking camera, first baby brownie I've seen. Usually see the Hawkeye when hitting the sales and goodwill stores.
