Welcome to My Collection
of Antique Cameras

If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re a fellow enthusiast of early photography — or perhaps a collector of vintage cameras yourself. Either way, I invite you to spend a few minutes exploring a curated selection of pre-1900 cameras from my personal collection.

This site isn’t commercial — there’s nothing currently for sale here. I simply want to share some special cameras that represent key moments in the evolution of photography: from camera obscuras and Daguerreotypes to wet plates, multi-lens designs, detective cameras, dry plates, and very early roll film cameras.

I don’t claim to be an expert — just an inquisitive guy with a passion for the nascent years of photography. I love studying, sharing information, and occasionally acquiring remarkable vintage cameras that catch my eye.

Thanks for visiting — I hope you enjoy this pictorial journey in photographic history as told through the camera! Stu Fabe
