[dxqcanada]

Pete ... you are missing the Minolta-35 rangefinder.

I try not to collect box cameras but now and then a lovely conditioned one just begs to be bought

 

[vintagesnaps]

I have a few box cameras, one that's similar to your first one pictured. That's a nice one, looks in beautiful condition, fairly advanced for a box camera.

I've gotten some of the Kodak Series filters and some of those fit the various box cameras.

 

[Fdee]

It was one of the last around 1955 to 1957 some parts are gold plated
It had a close up lens you could push in and a yellow filter as well for sunny days

(the names link to pictures of the said model)

Argus C3
Kodak no 1 Eastman
Kodak Six-20 Brownie E
Pickwik
Yashica-44
Agfa Billy Record II

Movie
Holiday II
Revere 8 Model 40

SLR's
Pentax ME-Super (w/ 50mm F1.7 lens)
Canon AE-1 (w/ 50mm F1.8 lens)
Miranda Sensorex (w/ 135mm, 50mm & 28mm lenses)
Vivitar 220/SL (w/ 50mm lens)
Ricoh Singlex TLS (w/ 55mm lens)

+ a few Kodak Instamatics.

We've been using the Argus C3, Miranda Sensorex and Canon AE-1 so far. Looking forward to trying out some of the others too.
It's a fun hobby to say the least.

My wife and I collect old cameras. We've got a bit of an eccentric collection. Most are functional.

Here's the list:

Olympus OM-1n and T20 flash
Aires 35-V
Polaroid Swinger model 20
Kodak Junior Six-20
Kodak No. 1 Junior with Autographic back (NOT labeled a No.1 Junior Autographic)
Kodak Pony II
Kodak Flash Bantam
Franka Rolfix
Kodak Vest Pocket
No. 1 Pocket Kodak (worth mentioning-is NOT pocket size by any stretch of the imagination)
Herbert George Herco Imperial box camera
Kodak Duaflex II TLR
Imperial Mercury Satellite

Nothing overly valuable, but they have collector value to us, and that's what matters.

Camera collection - a set on Flickr

^Kodak No. 1 Junior with an Autographic back, made in 1914. We've got a roll taken with it out for development. Ironically, the roughest of the bellows cameras is the most functional. Go figure, right?

Fdee, the one with the smiley face. What is that one? I think my wife would like one as a random gift/when I inevitably make her mad.
