For those photographers or retro collectors out there, this list of vintage camera designs will help make your collection more abundant.
For those photographers who greatly appreciate the history of photo taking, a refurbished vintage camera may be exactly what you need. Either to add to your collection or create a different look and feel that your modern day DLSR camera may not offer, these cameras are a great investment piece. Or perhaps you may just enjoy the look of the retro cameras, which is why there are also a plethora of items such as iPhone cases and pencil sharpeners that mimic the look of a historical camera.
Whichever the reason may be, any of these designs are sure to help either boost your creative ability or be a classy addition to any desk or home.
