Many collectable, users’ and retro cameras will be there – from wood and brass field cameras to more modern classics, such as Leicas and the Nikon F.

There will also be early digital cameras, pinhole cameras, stereo imaging equipment, lenses, accessories, film emulsions, paper, literature and images (such as early Daguerrotypes).
