Just visit the site and then slowly scroll down for camera heaven. Then weep with desire!

Reminds me of the saying: "There are no great old wines, just great old bottles

Some lust worthy cameras.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

I've found three shops in Prague, within a block of each other, brimming with vintage cameras. There's one in particular that is chockful of TLRs, foldouts and more vintage cameras than you can poke a cricket bat at! Another shop had Rolleis for less than $100, though I'm not sure if they still work.

But how many shops in Prague sell cricket bats? :D
