What's your rarest/oldest camera (doesn't have to be expensive)? Have you restored one? Share it here.

>rarest :
Meopta Flexaret II
its an old Checz TLR (1948), but it sure pack a punch.
>Restored
i do all my lightproofing myself, switched a couple of Olympuses OM prism around, actually managed to make a FTb QL work again (problem in the battery connection), and fixed an N6006 back door.
Currently stuck on a non responding Nikon FG, fucker keep doing a mirror lock-up

I don't really have any exceptional rarities but I have these two.

On the right is my Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic, manufactured in 1921 which makes this my oldest camera of 102 years.

On the left is a Kodak Retina IIa Type 150 which means it was manufactured between 1939-1941 in Germany during the Nazi regime, making it an interesting historical piece.

I've meant to use both but only the Retina has seen use as the Vest Pocket Kodak uses expensive 127 format stuff which I can only find available as an E6 film.

Oldest. Possibly my Nettar 515/16. But it's in the next room and I'm too lazy to grab it. But I do have tied for 2nd place (along with a Kodak Pony IV) this Hawkeye Brownie.
Did some minor cleaning to it (wiping the viewfinder elements did wonders for making it look "new.".) There's still some rust inside I need to deal with. But I couldn't wait and loaded it with film already.

Recently got my hands on an Ansco no.7 from 1894. Never shot with it since it didn't come with the 4x5 adapter. It's probably also my rarest, but I have a Mockba 5 that's definitely the runner up if not

I'm not a collector, but I have an old camera. This 1938 Perfix 'Speed Candid' belonged to my father. It was the first American made 35mm camera with a focal plane shutter. 1/500 top speed. It originally had a view finder and rangefinder sort of device on the top, but they're long gone for some reason. Made in Chicago. It still works.

OMGosh. Well, far from a common camera I guess. Interesting about the missing parts. It certainly is heavy. Thanks.

No-name wooden 5x7 plate camera from late 1800s. Few years ago I posted an image I made with it here that made the rounds.

I don't have any rare cameras but my AE-1 was bought by my mom NIB in 1976 and was used to take pretty much every family photograph of my brother and I growing up so it has great sentimental value.

i dont really have any rare cameras or lenses
a mint pentax k 28mm f3.5 and a 10 aperture blade jupiter 8 are probably the top that i have
although im hovering on the buy button on a zeiss ikon tenax, which with its 24x24mm 135 film format may or may not be worth collecting, but certainly fun using
