Full list of all cameras

On this page we have tried to give as much basic information as we can on all the cameras in the collection. Its a huge list. You can classify cameras in many ways, many collectors do so by make and then model, but for this purpose we thought it would be more useful if it was by type. Even this can be difficult as there could be many types. We decided to stick to Plate, folding, box and other, with just a few split out at the end to shaped box, an odd classification, possibly better a part of the other. They are alphabetical by make within type.

Nikon 35mm SLR's for example can be found under a Nikon section immediately following the plate cameras.

After the end of the list is a further list of other items, included, which includes a very large collection of camera cases.

This page is a very long list the following hyperlinks allow you to jump to bookmarks for the sections.
