I have been interested in photography ever since my father bought me a Brownie 620 Model D box camera in the early 1950's for my sixth birthday. Camera collecting is a much more recent interest and I have a few examples from different periods of cameras made in Dresden, including some Exaktas, and their lenses. If possible I like them to be in working condition so I can try putting a film through. I suppose I am still more of a photographer than a collector.
