Our collection consists of carefully selected, high-quality cameras, some of which are more than 60 years old. Because of their age and unique condition, every camera undergoes a thorough inspection before being offered for sale.

We test all essential functions, inspect the exterior for scratches and signs of wear, and carefully clean each camera. The mechanical components are fully checked to make sure they operate correctly. Lenses are inspected for fungus, haze, scratches, and other optical imperfections. If a flash is included, this is tested as well.

After completing the inspection, we grade each camera based primarily on the condition of its exterior. Our cameras are divided into three grading categories, making it easier to understand what you can expect from each item.
