A little history
Over the past few years I started collection old and antique camera equipment. My grandpa recently gave me a few pieces he has been holding on to for years. He tends to hold on to everything and I absolutely love that he does. We all should hold on to some of our history and remember what once was…
The larger camera is a Conley C 4×5 folding camera with an aperture range of f.8-f.128. Nickel-plated lensboard frame featuring rise and fall movements; rear tilt; rack and pinion focus; non-roatating reversable back. Hidden release button on side detaches the back. Circa 1866.
The small silver camera on the right is a Minolta 16II James Bond Spy Camera. Aperture range of f2.8-f16. Circa 1955. This was my favorite camera growing up I would always sneak it from my grandpa and run around the house taking spy pics! haha
The bottom object is a Honeywell Tilt-A-Mite Flash Unit. Circa 1950.
These look great on my shelf with all my other collectibles. I am going to search for some 16mm film soon so I can take that spy camera out for a test shoot!
