Mark's online museum for unwanted cameras.
Many of these cameras were hand-made, carefully chosen and expensive to buy. They were used to record the best moments of people's lives, taken on trips to exotic locations. After buying a newer model most sat on shelves for decades until their owner passed on, and were donated (dumped) at Goodwill. Almost nobody else wants the ones I have, but they bring me great joy. I treat them like the treasure they are, zip-lock bagging each with a dessiccant pack. They all get used, as time and film budget allow. I keep logs of each shoot and all the work done on them, and it all ends up on this site so you can appreciate these fine machines. This also keeps me busy during retirement.
Newest pics are at the bottom of each camera page.
