Hello from world of presscameras!

Hi!
I am currently residing in USA, Indiana. I am a collector of presscameras and old professional photgraphy equipment. I also repair old cameras. Photography is mainly limited to film and darkroom.... don't even own a scanner. Below is a link to my website.

Nice collection!!

Welcome! I look forward to perusing your site. FWIW I'm a user not a collector.

Quite an interesting collection -- if I had all that on top of the "stuff" I own to support my other obsessions I'd probably be sleeping in a tent in the backyard! Anyway it's good to see all those items preserved, and nice that you're sharing info about them via the web. Thanks!

(I own one not especially pristine B&J 4x5 myself.)

Welcome to APUG. I have a soft spot for press cameras myself, and your website is one I revisit from time to time to see if you've added to your collection.

Welcome to APUG from a former hoosier. I've got my own collection of press cameras, but not so many.

I have a weird one. A Linhof Standard Press. I call the Poor Man's Linhof. No swings nor tilts. only front rise and fall.

Linhof took over production of Perka's press camera 1929/30 after the company ceased trading, the camera sold under a few different names Meyer sold it through their distributor Roth in the UK, Roth also sold unbranded Leicas with their fast f1.5 lens around the same time, So it's nit really a Linhof designed camera

Thanks! I am unfortunately very laze when it comes to updating the site.... including taking the digital pictures. There are a lot more cameras that will come there one day.

Well, it is only part of my collection which is online. But there is Pacemaker there and a Graflex model B.

Thank you all! Nice to hear there are so many presscamera owners here!
