Listing for my father-in-law, who starte...d collecting cameras when he was 12. A pioneering photojournalist, he enjoyed using a variety of cameras while showcasing new techniques. Now 91 years-of-age, he has decided it is time to let some of his cameras go to others who appreciate the beautiful stories and history photography can both create and preserve. He wrote the preceding description from a visual inspection. Photos are provided for potential buyers to make their own assessment.
