My Camera Collection

Aside from my love for the art of photography, I am very passionate about cameras and how they work, especially the old, vintage camera of the film days.

ANALOGUE CORNER

Analog cameras were much more diverse than those of the modern era and their designs were extremely diverse depending on the type and style of photography the customer wanted to pursue.

Today, they are a marvel of mechanics and the lenses have a vintage look to them which, though not technically perfect like modern lenses, often have a rendering which allows to create unique looking images

35mm Format

First developed in 1913 by Oskar Leitz, it became widespread in 1925 with the release of the Leica I camera in Germany.

35mm is the most popular and famous film format. Thanks to it’s small size and versatility it found widespread use in general and street photography, sports photography among some. It was used by amateurs and professionals the like.

Medium Format

Medium format was first introduced by Kodak in 1901. It was a professional film format that used 120 film rolls (60mm height). It was available in different formats: 6×4,5cm; 6x6cm, 6x7cm and 6x9cm depending on how long the frames were extended sideways.

Resolution was far superior to 35mm film at the cost of portability, speed and convenience.

Large Format

Large format refers to sheet film. One sheet of film, one photo at the time. The most common size was 4×5″ and 8×10″. This was the professional film format within professionals. The quality still rivals that of modern digital cameras and produce amazing images with incredible resolution.

Usually used for product and landscape photography, it was the first film format used at the birth of photography.

DIGITAL CORNER

*** Discover my digital camera collection ***

Below are my current Digital cameras. I don’t necessarily consider digital cameras eligible for collection as such, but I do own three. And for a reason. These cameras are intended for different purposes and so I chose them depending on what subject / condition I am to work on. Of course none compromise on capture quality.
