Other Vintage Cameras & Items

 

Some of these cameras I use myself. I bought a couple only because I liked them. The first camera I bought that was not only to add to my collection but also suitable for use was purchased at the Dominikański market in Gdańsk. It was a black *mieszkowy* C.Bentzin. I completed it in an old mechanical institute in Bydgoszcz with an adapter for spiral films. It was well suited to make 9 x 12 size prints. This is the one that came to Australia with me and was left to collect dust at the back of my cupboard for years.
