About me

I live in Brno and I bought my first folding camera at a flea market for the price of a coffee. It didn’t work, so I learned to fix it.

Now I have a shelf of about sixty cameras. I mend bellows, clean shutters and fit new light seals, and every camera on the shelf takes pictures.

I write a letter every month about one camera, one repair or one flea market find, and I sell guides for people who want to mend their own.
