What's new?

April 2010

Four results images added for the 1914 VPK and Voigtlander Brilliant. The Mamiya Prismat died, halfway through a roll. the Exacta is currently loaded along with two or three others.

February 2010

A handful of the collection cameras made a return trip to our old stomping grounds in Viet Nam, the newly arrived Pentax ME, K1000 and Leica II. Two further cameras joined the collection in February, a Pentax 110 Super, which has yet to clear the workshop and a delightful Zeiss Ikon Icarette, which was fast tracked as there was early evidence of corrosion and fungal attack which needed to be "nipped in the bud". This was completed rapidly and the result is a delightful specimen.

January 2010

Little to report! A few new arrivals, two of which have joined the museum website, a Finetta IV and a Pentax ME. The arrival of the latter accelerated the retirement of one of our trusty Pentax K1000s, the ME taking its place. The Voigtlander Brilliant, Exacta and Mamiya Prismat are currently loaded.

October 2009

Well the website has undergone a significant rebuild to allow for the wider screen resolutions avaialble. When first designed back in 2000, the site was fixed width at 700 pixels. A growing audience now have broadband and much higher resolution screens, so it was high time to reflect this. However, I decided to keep the familiar look to the site and have resisted the temptation to go overboard with rollovers. The increase in bandwidths and line speed has allowed the size of images to be increased, so some cameras have been re-photographed. Of academic interest is the switch from "Page Mills" to "Dreamweaver" as the authoring software.
Recent activity amongst the cameras has been with the Voigtlander Brilliant and Perkeo, the Mamiya Prismat, Exacta, FT2, Sputnik and both Pentax K1000s.
