My Film Camera Collection

In 2024, I was introduced to Film Photography by a friend. I always though that this was going to be difficult to get into, due to the fact that film would be hard to find and then even harder to develop and have scanned. Turns out, I was wrong… the rest, like most of the cameras in this collection, is history.

Yashica 200-AF

35mm1987

My first Yashica, and a joy to use. Based on Minolta’s AF line but stripped down—making it refreshingly straightforward. Fast, accurate, and pure 80s charm.

Ricoh FF-3 AF

35mm1982

My first point-and-shoot—an iconic 80s Japanese model with smart autofocus and distance icons. Surprisingly advanced for its time and still impressively capable.

Atlissa Altix-n

35mm1957

I grabbed the Altissa Altix-n for its looks and great condition and came with a Carl Zeiss-Jena lens. Its quirky controls, unique viewfinder, and solid build make it a surprisingly fun little camera to shoot with.

Zenit E

35mm1965

A classic Soviet-era camera—quirky but rewarding. With its unreliable selenium meter, it demands patience, but paired with the Helios 44-2, it shines.

Seagull DF

35mm1964

The Seagull DF, a Chinese Minolta SR-T 101 clone, was my first film camera—fully manual, meterless, and a beautifully simple way to learn photography.

Nikon F4

35mm1988

The legendary Nikon F4—tactile, rugged, and pure muscle memory for anyone who’s shot Nikon. This 1988 beast feels like the blueprint for all modern Nikon bodies. It’s my only camera with a vertical grip, and the Type P screen with microprism focus assist makes manual lenses a dream to use. A true pro classic.

Minolta AF 9000

35mm1985

The incredible Minolta AF 9000—my favorite blend of digital and analog design. Developed alongside the 7000, but released later for the pro market.

Phot-Office Folding bi-format

Medium Format (120)1939

A no-frills 1930s folding camera, likely sold in pharmacies and built for simplicity. ƒ/6.3, 1/100s max—surprisingly capable for 6×9 shots. Nearly a century old, still working great, and the bellows are intact. A charming, oversized gem in the collection.

Minolta AF 7000

35mm1985

The Minolta AF 7000 was my first autofocus film camera—and one of the world’s first. Iconic 80s design, ahead of its time, and still going strong.

Agfa Isolette I

Medium Format (120)1951

My first folding camera—needed some TLC to get going: freed the focus, re-calibrated, patched the bellows. Now it’s a reliable, rewarding shooter.

Photax I

Medium Format (120)1937

A quirky little bakelite beauty from 1937! Runs on 620 film—solved with a nail clipper and some determination. Just two apertures (ƒ/11, ƒ/16) and three speeds (100, 25, Bulb), yet it delivers surprisingly solid results. No focus ring, no marked focal length—just pure, stripped-down vintage charm.

Voigtländer Vitoret L

35mm1966

I picked up this camera partly for its elegant 1960s design—and honestly, because I loved the Voigtländer font. Simple, clean, and beautifully preserved.

Fujica ST605N

35mm1978

This solid little SLR from 1978 is a joy to shoot. M42 mount means tons of lens options, and the battery-powered meter still works perfectly.
