As regular readers know, I've been building up my photography kit with what could be called bottom feeders — old cameras that have seen better days but are cheap. Well, what I've been finding is that these old cameras more than hold their own when compared to modern cameras. This is a very interesting contest where people took pictures near their home with cameras built before 1970. They submitted the picture and a picture of the camera. Cameras from Leicas to box cameras.
