Large Format Information, Catalog Scans and Photographs
Researching interesting cameras and lenses to use can sometimes be a daunting process.
I created this page in order to help inform other photographers on some of the vintage
photographic equipment out there that are still great tools for photographic expression.
I'll continue to update this page with photographs, experiences, and catalogs.
The catalogs are from companies that are out of business or no longer producing these
specific products. Feel free to email me if you need any information on these types of
vintage photography equipment or if you want me to add anything you might have!
