They say you should not mix business with
pleasure, but this is precisely what our plan is all about.
Recently we fell in love with the magical world of mechanical cameras,
the small spark of passion quickly turned into wildfire - and before we
knew it, we were surrounded by cameras, lenses, photo magazines, bags,
and rolls of film. Quickly we figured out not only that film is still
alive, but that it never died, and passion for film is greater than
ever.
Like in any religion, and film is certainly a religion in itself, there
is a promise to every follower - when you capture those very special
moments in time and record it on film, you have earned the right to call
yourself a ‘moment collector’. That moment captured on film, becomes
immortal - what more can a mortal ask for.
The convenience of taking photos with a smartphone, the speed of the
process and the quality of the result is something that film pioneers
could have only dreamed about, but old fashioned mechanical cameras, and
old fashion celluloid film help us to capture the moments in
unmistakable ways.
Unfortunately iconic mechanical cameras are disappearing fast -
the only way to make them available for the next generation of artists
is to preserve them, restore them, collect them and catalog
them. Creating a Vintage camera boutique in the heart of Sydney is going
to be a long term project, but today we are inviting you to visit us
and check out our humble offering. If you see a camera that you like, we
would be happy to help you; but what we really want is for you to go
into your cupboard, dust off that vintage camera you already have, buy a
few rolls of film and rejoin the movement.
If you haven't shot with film in a while
then you'll be surprised and possibly overwhelmed with todays offerings -
not sure which film is right for you? Send us an email and we will be
happy to assist.
Our ultimate goal is to offer you the best deal possible deal on film - not only will we match any Australian retailers price advertised, but this month we will ship film free of charge. Go to: https://www.vintagecamera.com.au/film/
