My preferred dealers


The E+ seems a logo. Yes, it is a logo. "Exc+" like the rating that many dealers use correctly
for some cameras they have in their list. Now I rate the dealers with the same classification!




Bruce Pick
If you wish to know the reason why Bruce is at the first place on my list you can read the first e-mail in the Exa Black Page. We collectors must thank him.. he remembers, after some time, the camera, the collector... and he can give someone else the pleasure to own a camera. Every month he sends a 4 pages list. Every item is well described. If you buy something and you are happy with it, please write to Bruce! He is waiting for your reply.


Pacific Rim Cameras
They have a very good catalogue on the web. Here I bought many times (always Ihagee-Exakta items) and I never had bad surprises (*) by
Mike Otto and Dale Lampson.


Jay O. Tepper
I bought many times from Tepper. During September 1992 I ordered 26 cameras. I asked a discount. He replied "no". I bought them at the list price and I bought other times. He sends a long list with cameras, lenses, accessories and literature plus some novelty items. Every month. You can ask him the list.


Brooklyn Camera Exchange
The first time I found this address was reading Shutterbug's ads. I sent a fax. A kind person (David Sitruk is the name) sent me immediately the availability and the details. I bought many times. No bad surprises (*). An Exakta collector can often find interesting items, like a "five VX IIa factory fresh frontplates" at $39! Every month you can receive a preview list.

(*) as often happens with an US dealer who is usually quite generous in rating the condition of his stock. When Gary Cullen buys something, he writes me and (as I can understand the condition) he uses the generous classification of this dealer. When he says "Exc+" I know the camera is a "vg+"







Classic Collection
Their list is an interactive order form. You must register, then everything is easy... If you wish to order you can make it, but if you wish to ask information, you can use their fax (+44-171-831.5424). Unuseful to say that this is my preferred shop in Europe!







Classic Camera
Twice a year Giuseppe Favaro sends a printed catalog with a long list of interesting cameras. The prices are "European" prices: it means that some of them are high prices, some other are cheap prices. If you wish to receive the catalog you can ask it by fax (+39-41-448562).






Thierry Rebours
I cannot forget the kindness I found in this shop when I asked a copy of the Aguila and Rouah's book "Exakta cameras". They were in Rue Tonduti de l'Escarene, now they are in Rue de Lepante 18, 06000 Nice, Cote d'Azur, France, Tel. +33-4-93807170



I bought from some other dealers, and I am happy with some of them. They are not yet in my list because I bought only once from them. Next time, perhaps...
