Thank you for visiting the Collectible Cameras web site. We appreciate your visit and your patronage.

It is our on-going goal to provide a superior selection of both collectible and good late-model, usable photographic equipment. This includes all types of cameras, lenses, accessories, darkroom equipment, odds-and-ends, and photographic curiosities. We purchase and sell equipment from all over the world, and have been doing so since 1989.

We bring into our inventory a wide variety of photographic items, almost certainly just the item you're looking for.

			From the practical
		To the obvious collectible

				From the memorable and still useful
		To the not-so-memorable but fascinating

All of us at Collectible Cameras are photographers and very much appreciate both the collectible and the practical value of the equipment. We believe you do as well, so that's why the photographs in our product catalog are of the actual items offered for sale. We also try to note our observations about the item. We do this because we want you to be happy with your purchase and with the quality and reliability of our service.

Lastly, I think you would appreciate knowing that over 90% of our business is from repeat customers, and nearly 80% of our business is from outside the United States. We think that speaks very well about us, and we hope that your first visit to our site is the start of a long relationship. We are located in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Feel free to visit us in our shop, weekdays 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Enjoy your visit to our site and please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Sandy Ritz
