Halina MW35G

a charity shop find-not really much information is available really but I'd guess early 80s thanks to the 35mm and pop up flash. it's a chinese camera with a fixed 38mm lens

Trusty Friend

my trusty brownie which uses modified 120 (originally 640 format). it has been glued back together with some painter's tape (for lightsafe security) on the other side where it accidentally fell onto one of Athens's astoundingly hard sidewalks. This was my first vintage camera-I've had it for 8 years now

Inovar Kinetic

Inovar-the winding lever is pretty much shot (I use it for uncontrollable double exposures) and the lens hood is chipped but it was only 50p so no expectations were had. There's no information on this camera brand online just ebay options for various (very different) models and there's no model information either- a mystery camera.

Kodak Instamatic X-35

Kodak Instamatic X-35-unfortunately it takes 126 film which is both no longer produced and no longer developable. It has a great case though and I love the literal shutter lever

Olympus Trip 35

I have a soft spot for Olympus Trips-my first camera that I took my first photographs was a modern 2000s cheap model with fixed zoom but it served me well for years until the day it accidentally took an underwater plunge. Since then I've sought an older Olympus Trip and this one with its ring flash caught my eye.

Agfa Silette

the rewind button is crooked and the focus ring a bit off but I like my Silette anyway, plus the previous owner inscribed her (Sheffield) address on the case- it's hard to date this baby despite Silette's fairly comprehensive history online since this is a pretty classic original Silette 1953 in the body but the lens is...not quite right until 1956 with Silette-L.In any case, I think it's 1950s
