Veteran readers of DIYP will recall that Alfie Cameras rose to fame on these pages with the release of a beautiful 35mm half frame camera called the TYCH. Following on the successful release of the TYCH, Alfie Cameras is now selling a robust line of Second Hand Cameras.
Obtained through a variety of different sources within the United Kingdom, Alfie Cameras now sells a remarkably diverse collection of these used camera models. Each vintage camera has been selectively cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted, as needed, by Alfie Cameras. This service is validated by a “Passed” sticker that is affixed to each camera.
The result is an impressive lineup of classic film cameras that are each thoroughly described and photographed for ensuring purchasing confidence by a prospective online buyer. Furthermore, each model’s serial number is provided so buyers can verify a camera’s provenance prior to purchase.
Our Handpicked, Second Hand Camera List
While there is a dizzying array of second hand cameras currently offered by Alfie Cameras, we have handpicked a scrumptious sampling of models that are too good to pass up:
Canon AF35ML in “great, clean condition,” priced at $133.
Rollei Prego 125 in shockingly “mint condition” for $133.
Pentax Z1-p described in “very good, clean condition” for $168 that includes a 35-70mm f3.5-4.5 autofocus zoom lens.
Voigtländer Vitoret 110 is a diminutive darling 110-format camera in “great, clean condition” priced as a steal for $34.
Many of these cameras come with batteries, cases, straps, and/or manuals. Likewise a comprehensive 6-month warranty hallmarking the three “Rs” is provided with every camera purchase: repair, replace, or refund.
Enjoy.
