My favorite collectibles are cars and
cameras.
The photographica items I enjoy most are
"baby"
cameras, the smaller versions of those which are
available in different formats or film sizes.
ROLLEI The camera on the left, a limited-production 1960's variation of the 6x6 TLR, this "black baby" takes 4cm x 4cm photos on 127 film. The micro camera, which is dwarfed by a standard 35mm cassette, was a gift in boxes of a Japanese candy and is not functional. The mini camera on the right is digital, although it is also available to take film used in the famous Minox subminiature. |

PENTAX Another favorite is this tiny 110-sized version of the popular 35mm SLR. Like its big-brother, this one has interchangable lenses and a tele-converter. |
NIKON F These 3 Nikons include a micro sized version (like the Rollei above, it came from the Glico candy company), a mini Nikon F that takes Minox film to make negatives 8mm x 11mm, and my full-sized Nikon F2 which I bought in 1974. |
