I'm just a hobby collector of mainly 35mm cameras from the 1950s up to the early 1980s, before metal was replaced by plastic.

Details of the cameras in my collection can be seen on my website [My 35mm Film Camera Collection].

The pages here contain a description of each camera, technical specifications, sometimes original advertisements and UK price, an opinion of the model, and illustrative photographs. There is also a link to the camera's user manual (where possible), and any other good relevant Internet sites.

My collection currently includes the following:
