I am excited about these old cameras. I worked the movie Biz in Hollywood and understand these camera's place in the history of Movies. I'd just doing my best to let the industry know that these cameras are so very important to the history of moving pictures and should be back in Hollywood. The TV series "Hell on Wheels" just aired a show on Andersonville. The scenes in Andersonville were shot on a hand cranked camera from around 1915. The director bought that camera from me a few years ago. YES, I love it when a camera of mine goes back to work.
+1samdodge I'm happy to see them in use again. I was a photographer in the 90s for a NASCAR magazine and that got me started in vintage still cameras. They are not worth much and thousands were made but they were the state of the art back then. I think my favorite vintage camera is the Brownie that has the Art Deco pin stripes on the front. They do not have to be worth a fortune for me to enjoy them. Would have liked to follow you around while working in Hollywood. Fascinating business. Thanks so much for sharing your pieces of history.
This type of content is what makes me hate people who take 100 selfies a day BEGGING for verification from others that they're good enough. Its strange because I wouldnt want to live in the 1800s, but I love the idea of humble people. I guess you cant have both.
Hello +1samdodge , I just found a love for old cameras...but i have a question...was that the first camera that has been used? If not, what was the first one?
I hope you really are as excited and happy about your cameras as you seem on your videos. Brilliant collection. Very very nice.

Sam, your videos are always fascinating. Thank you for sharing you collection.
Thank you. I actually don't have a collection. My cameras are actually for sale. I love getting them out to where other people can see and touch them.
I recently purchased one of these. It's a little worse for wear but I'm sure I'll enjoy restoring it.
Super, Thankyou
Didn't William Friese Green invented kinematography ?

Awesome, I always thought my 1957, 16mm Bolex was pretty cool, (checkout my video) but this camera, wow...
Thanks so much, Moses...
It's very annoying they way you wave your hands in my face.
