Through an old lens

Welcome to “Through an old lens”. The heart of this site is the Classic Camera galleries. Here I feature vintage cameras from my ever increasing collection. I believe the best way to appreciate old cameras is to take them off the shelf and put them through their intended function. To this end the camera galleries contain not just basic information on the cameras themselves, but also photographs taken with them. I hope visitors are inspired to take their own old cameras out of the closet and put them back into use.
The other galleries on this site feature photographs taken with both film and digital cameras. While I love shooting film I also enjoy using digital cameras with both modern and old lenses for the unique capabilities they offer.
