Come on in and check out our folding and box cameras, enlargers, splicers and photographic publications, especially the ones on the top shelf. While you're here, don't forget that post card Kodak 122 film, or maybe a roll film developing kit?
This wonderful Moulin studio image was taken inside a Camera Craft store in San Francisco, CA on April fools day 4/1, 1938 for Mr E.R. Young. I bought this 8x10" Defender Safety base negative and scanned it on an Epson flatbed scanner. Amazing how sharp the image is using 80 year old technology; you'd be hard pressed to get more resolution from a modern day high end digital camera.
As I look at the products for sale back then, I'm reminded that I own quite a few of them now, my collection contains many of the folding cameras you see on the shelves in the back, and the Kodak Rangefinder, extinction meters, filters etc in the display cases below the cameras....
