Those who have been bitten by the Vintage 35mm camera bug know how expensive this could get. A 35mm camera is already expensive, what more a vintage one.

But if you know where to look, you can get one that you want at a price that you just have to make the most out of.

These better buys only come once in a blue moon. What will you say if there is a vintage 35mm camera for only $50? You just have to say yes.

The glass of the vintage 35mm camera is the 75-105mm lens. These are the parts that can be pretty expensive. It's hard to imagine that something so small can cost so much. If you can get a higher mm range for a lower price, consider yourself lucky.

The handheld vintage 35mm camera is also different from the ones that come with a tripod. If you're used to the former, then you're pretty much hooked to it but if you re thinking of collecting it, you have to know that it can be very expensive.

It can also be very expensive to repair or restore antique 35mm cameras that are handheld.

Don't fret. There are still some models that won't make you burn your wallet. These are the non-folding vintage 35mm cameras like the lke, soe voigthlander, and zeiss contessa models. Another not so popular model is the agfa super silette.

This may come in for less than $50. There are also the ones from the 1970s like the Minolta hi-matics, Konica, Yashica, and Olympus.

If it just so happens that you need to fix vintage 35mm camera, you can do this yourself. It wouldn't cost you anything - just your time. Of course, you need to know the parts that you are getting.

If you are going to replace some parts of your camera, invest in parts that you know would last. If you can get some for exchange, then seize the opportunity. The frequently exchanged parts are the lenses. They sometimes come with the finders too.

If you are okay with a fixed lens, get the pair that have a nice finder. If you can get a manual too, then do so. Sometimes there might be problems when it comes to the mercury batteries of vintage 35mm cameras.

This will make it harder for you to replace or restore just in case. If you do need help on anything, you can seek a professional and ask your questions.

How To Appreciate Old Photography

Old photography can be appropriately defined as a leisure activity. It is actually a part of antique photography. Most of the times, this type of photography was undertaken by royalty, so old photography can be imagined to be a spin off part of the art of novelty photography.

The main point of these old time photographs is that they are printed in black and white, or more appropriately sepia tones. One can pose in various ethnic outfits, use antique props and costumes. This actually gives a feel of antique wonder when a person sees the photographs.  Also, people can recreate the aura of the gone by times, and see how people looked in the earlier times. These services are generally available at historical places of interest. Most of the times, people are supposed to choose from a variety of themes, to be set as the backdrop of the photo. Old time photographers charge a little extra for their photographs since they also provide the appropriate costumes for the chosen period. The most famous themes people tend to pick are the Victorian era (the years from 1837 to 1901 when Queen Victoria ruled), the roaring twenties (the 1920s) and the old west theme. Some people also go for the old ranch settings.

One can also create old time photographs if he or she knows the art of photography. Since the old time cameras are difficult to find, you can achieve the same effect using your digital camera. You just have to determine the photo basics first, and then get some costumes from antique shops. You may also come across these costumes in thrift stores where they stock a variety of these costumes and props at a very low price. Color will not play any part in your shopping list, because the end photos will be black and white! You will now have to determine the set up of the pose, and decorate your set accordingly. It is better if you create a plan before even starting on the shopping. After all the set up, take photos with your digital camera. Remember to click more than one picture of a particular pose so you can determine which one is best. All you will have to do after this is to load the pictures into the computer, and use photo editing software to create your own hand made antique photo!

The option of old time photography is available with only some selected places at the present. There are specific camera types for old photography. The most used were Agfa and Polaroid. Even some photo booths will be able to give you a photograph resembling the masterpieces of old photography. This kind of photography is now quite rare, but if you wish you can still find people doing that at fairs, festivals and the like. Some historical places of interest also hold old photography attractions. This type of photography is also in demand at some marriages, where it gives the feel of a vintage wedding, and there is nothing better than a different look for a special day!

About the Author

I have a large collection of my grandparents photography when they were in their early 20's. It is amazing to look at old photographs.  I do it all of the time.

Should I get an Agfa Silette Pronto or a Kodak Pony IV?

I'm torn between the two, and can't figure out which to get. I'm fairly new to vintage cameras but have a strong interest. Help!

I have found the Silette to have less mechanical problems overall. Either would be fine.

Lens quality is about the same, both seem to be worth about the same amount. The Kodak is a better looking camera I think. A bit more stylish.

As inexpensive as they are buy one of each and see which one you like better.
