Vintage Film Cameras

Film videography is a time honored tradition that delivers crisp, bright video with an incredible range of contrast. Photographers and videographers have been speaking through the analog lens for centuries, and continue avidly today. With lower initial costs for camera bodies and easy-to-learn mechanics, vintage film cameras are a perfect place to start for beginners or a brave new path for those experienced with the digital medium. Getting started in the darkroom requires a lot of patience, but gives you more control over the outcome of your shots, and can be quite forgiving in terms of focusing and exposure issues. Film cameras are also superior when it comes to capturing detail in the black and white ranges of color, and offer a timelessness that doesn't easily budge as technology advances. Gear Focus can connect you with a network of photographers and videographers like you who have a wealth of experience with analog processes, and are happy to share their knowledge!

This is a Canon EOS 630 35mm film camera. Dating back to 1991, this was arguably among the most sophisticated 35mm cameras of its day.

If you like to shoot film, this is the camera to make every shot perfect.

The EOS 630 features amazing digital auto-focusing logic that's not far off what Canon's DSLRs are capable of today. 

As with all Canon's cameras, this one was beautifully made. It's in flawless condition, with no wear or damage. It's working perfectly as nearly as we can tell. Full disclosure - we no longer have a darkroom, or any way to process 35mm film, so we were unable to test it prior to sale.

This camera includes its original 50mm f 1.8 autofocus lens. We've used it with a number of other Canon and Canon-compatible lenses - it should be compatible with any red-dot Canon AF lens.

It also includes a Canon strap, eyepiece cushion and its two-volume original manual.

Most surviving examples of the 630 at present have seen very hard lives. This one's absolutely mint.

Requires one 245 (2CR5) battery, not included.

Canon EOS 630 Vintage Autofocus 35mm Film Camera

This is a vintage Olympus 35mm rangefinder film camera, circa 1958. It's had one owner, and is in extremely good condition. 

Olympus cameras of this period were beautifully engineered and expertly manufactured. This one features an f 2.8 E. Zuiko lens, and shutter speeds from 1 to 1/500th of a second. It has a flash shoe. Nothing is made of plastic.

Included with this camera are a range of original period accessories, including:

- The original hard leather Olympus case. While the case shows some wear, it's still absolutely solid.

- Several filters.

- The original manual, now somewhat dog-eared after well over half a century.

- A Norwood Director M3 light meter.

- A screw-on lens hood.

The camera is working perfectly to the best of our knowledge. Full disclosure - we no longer have a darkroom, or any way to process 35mm film, so it has not been tested. 

The light meter also appears to be working correctly, in that its needle moves when it's exposed to light. It includes its original instructions.

The exterior of the camera is almost perfect, with no visible damage and only a tiny spot of corrosion at the back of the film door.

Rolleiflex 2.8GX w/80mm f/2.8 Planar HFT EXCELLENT CONDITION

The ultimate Rolleiflex Twin Lens Reflex, one of the last made before Rollei closed its doors. Very rare. Mint condition.

The Rolleiflex GX has all of the features of the coveted 2.8F but with modern improvements such as a buit-in LED light meter, superior lens coatings and a super-bright focus screen.

Comes with original Rollei lens cap.

I purchased this beauty from Seawood Photo in California a few months ago--so its been thoroughly vetted and investigated--and have shot with it twice. It takes gorgeous photos and is much easier to use than older Rolleis, as the screen is significantly brighter. Letting it go only for practical reasons, because I need to focus on mastering digital photography.  Hoping to find the right buyer who will really love this piece.

CANON F-1 with two lens kit.

The Canon F-1 is a 35 mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Canon in Japan from 1971 until 1981.
The TTL metering on the Canon F-1 is a remarkable feature. The photocell is neither in the finder prism nor behind the SLR mirror, but on the side of the focusing screen, which directs a fraction of the light to it. In this way the meter works independently of the attached finder, dramatically simplifying the viewfinders as well as the metering system in the camera. The exposure meter uses the 1.35 volt mercury battery, which fortunately may be replaced, using an ordinary hearing aid battery that is cheap and plentiful. Unfortaionatly the finder prism would usually be slid on and off as one of the release buttons stuck, and the finder is stuck on the camera and will not come off. This is not a problem unless you would like to change to a different style of finder. I shot a roll of film through the camera and the meter is working fine as I got 36 good exposures. The kit includes a very sturdy camera body and a wonderful Canon 55mm F1.2 S.S.C. breach mount lens as well as a 100-200 f/5.6  push-pull breach mount lens very well made. The glass on the 55mm lens is very clean and although the lens has been well used seems to be in good condition. Some of the rubber on the focusing ring is cracked in places but it's not moving and the ring turns very smoothly. I could not see any fungus or haze in this lens shining a flashlight through it. Please see the 3 images I shot with the 55mm f1.2 although I did not shoot the lens at f1.2. The Zoom Lens is also very clean with no fungus or haze inside the lens. The push-pull lens design is very smooth to zoom in and out. You can tell the lens is very well made of all metal with a rubberized focusing grip. Although it's slow wide open at 5.6 it's still relatively sharp at f/5.6. Please see my example of the old house with the tree where shot at f/5.6.

Pentax 645 + 45mm F2.8

Hi,

I'm selling my Mamiya 7II kit. All pieces are in excellent condition. Everything works properly. The camera and lenses were calibrated by Mamiya a few years ago so the rangefinder is very accurate. The images are extremely sharp. As one would expect from this legendary camera. 


- It includes the 65mm f4 and 50mm f4.5 lenses 
- The Mamiya strap
- The external viewfinder for the 50mm
- The lenshood for the 65mm. 
- The original caps for both lenses

Please refer to the images for a detailed condition of the items
- The lense are optically mint. No flaws at all.
- The camera has very minimal signs of use, very light wear, notably a thin line of paint loss on the film advance lever.  
- The viewfinder has a bit of cosmetic wear on one side but is clean and clear. 
- The Lens hood has a tiny chip near on the bayonet, doesn't affect usability at all

Thank you and have a good day :)
Thomas

The Leica R4 is a completely newly developed camera and improved in many ways over the Leica R3. The R4 is smaller and lighter than the R3, has a brighter viewfinder image and a program automatic. The shutter release is pleasantly quiet. The camera was at the service, was cleaned, adjusted and provided with new seals. It works perfectly! 
This R4 has very light signs of use, but no dents or deep scratches. A battery is installed, you can start shooting right away!
The viewfinder screen is clean and clear. Technically, there are no functional limitations either - the camera works flawlessly.

The Vario-Elmar 35-70mm is offered in the set. This lens was one of the sharpest zoom lenses at the time. I would almost level it with the Zeiss Vario Sonnar 28-85mm for Contax. Only in direct comparison and with strong magnification you might be able to see a tiny difference.

A beautiful Leica R5 – probably one of the best classic SLR cameras. Thanks to its ergonomic concept, it allows a very fast operation. I would always prefer it to a Leica R8 or R9 because it is much more handy and can also be repaired by independent repairers (The R8/R9 only from Leitz, as special measuring devices are required to recalibrate the camera after a repair).

The Summicron R 50mm F2 Prime Lens is sold as a set with the R5 and is considered the best standard lens for SLR cameras in the world. Surpassed only by Leica M lenses, which are also much more expensive. The Summicron R 50mm can be adapted to Canon or Panasonic DSLR cameras, for example.
The Summicron is clean with no major signs of use, no paint wear, no dents. The lenses are clear and without traces of cleaning / fungus / haze. 
All functions are fine (exposure, film transport, light tightness). The finder of the R5 is clean and clear. The lens is in excellent condition, too. No scratches on front or rear glass surface, no haze. 

The set comes with original Leica leather cases for the camera and the lens, plus one brand new Artisan neck strap.
