Camera Museum

[Marvin]

A friend and I were asked if we could put together an antique camera display for the Museum and we did. Between the two of us we had a pretty good display.

Nice!

Now make a small card identifying and explaining the significance of each one

 

[AgX]

Exactly!
Or pick out at least a few.

Otherwise it only will result in: "Amazing what all existed back then"

Hey, is that the self-assembled 4x5 camera from Calumet? Around 1980??

 

[Slixtiesix]

Amazing collection!

 

[Marvin]

Not sure about the view cameras as they were from the other guys collection. Just got a call today that the display was taken down and packed up so I will have to go down and pick up my cameras. The museum display lasted for about 2 months and they said it created a lot of interest. My Mother's Brownie Hawkeye that was used for family pics when I was a child was in the display.

Did I spy a black Minolta 16mg in there?
@ Dan Daniel; now many "diy" 4x5 kits were there? I remember the Bender one.

There is probably a lot of life left in most of them

Yes there are two minolta 16 cameras. A 16PS and 16 QT I think.

Exactly!

and a sample picture taken with each

Write on the cards which ones you are still shooting today. Also add a digital camera and put on the card "obsolete tomorrow".
