| Welcome!
|
| You've found Chrome Age Camera a modest little tribute to one person's obsession with
photographica from the nineteen-fifties and sixties. While there are many sites that describe highly prized and famous brands
the cameras described here are mostly those used by ordinary snapshotters. I hope I can convey something of the excitement their
original owners must have felt, and perhaps get you excited about them too... of course I may have dropped a clanger or two, I wasn't born until 1967.

| The site has been written to be browsed with lots of cross-references between pages and
sections. In addition to the two main sections I've recently added a message board to the site where you can post questions or
suggestions for improving the site.

Camera Collection
My ever expanding collection from simple box cameras to precision built miniatures. Each page describes a single or series of
models with online instruction manuals, sample images and contemporary magazine reviews.

Reading Room
As well as collecting cameras I've also managed to gather quite a lot of vintage photography books and magazines. I've been
dragging my heels with the books page but not with the magazines and there are now descriptions of 16 UK magazines complete
with cover galleries and links to excerpts and cuttings.

Message Board
The latest addition to Chrome Age so it's pretty quiet in there.
