Sometimes we lose context in our critiques and judge these vintage cameras like they are new models on the shelf. It shouldn’t matter now what the comparisons were between them 50 to a 100 years ago, or how they may compare to cameras made today. Now they are all beautiful collector items and an important part of history!
