I collect vintage cameras. Some of mine are over 100 years old. I have over 40 so far and am always on the lookout for more finds. Usually when I get them, they are all gross and covered in guck and stuff. I take those ones apart and clean them from the inside out and/or make repairs. My very first old camera was a Polaroid spectra my dad gave me when I was little. I instantly fell in love with film and he went on to show me how to load and shoot 35mm cameras. Now I shoot with 120, 620, and 116 film cameras. You can't buy 620 or 116 film anymore, but I just buy 120 film and re-spool it onto old 620 spools. It's so much fun.

It's not too bad. Antique stores have a lot of good deals because the cameras look like crap a lot of the time. Once they're cleaned and polished they look brand new. @NoSugar
