Introduced in 1988 and sold until the F5 launched in 1997, the Nikon F4 was intended as the professional level auto-focus Nikon.

If the F3 was your cool uncle who had been to war and thought a BB gun was an appropriate gift for your 8th birthday, the F4 was your cousin who spent too much time in the gym but still somehow knew about all the cool new tech. The F4 was a leap forward for Nikon with autofocus, matrix metering and motor drive in a tough professional body. All driven by 4 AA batteries and more knobs than you knew you needed.

The Hexar RF was introduced in 1999 by Konica as a Leica M alternative. The RF is an M-mount rangefinder like the Leica M line but with modern features.

This may look like the Canon 7s, because it is, but at the same time it is not a standard 7s. This one has a surprise.

In 1965, Canon updated the Canon 7 as the Canon 7s. The 7s was produced for two years and had a run of approximately 16,000 units.

Introduced in 1970 and in production until 1994 the Hasselblad 500 C/M was the Volvo 240 of the camera world. Like the 240 the Hasselblad is Swedish and “boxy but good”.

Ilford HP5 disposable. Just what you would expect, good film with a crap lens packaged to go.

The Fujica GA was a zone focus camera sold by Fujifilm presumable in the mid 1970s. Other than a copy of the manual, I was unable to find much about this compact.

In 1957 Kodak AG of Stuttgart, West Germany, introduced the Retina Reflex. The Retinal Reflex was an interchangeable lens SRL system. The Reflex lens mount continued for several additional models after the Reflex. At introduction there were two lens options. This one has the Schneider Xenon C 50mm f2.0.

In production from 1958 to 1961, the Canon P was intended to be a camera with mass market appeal. At almost 88,000 units, it was the most popular Canon rangefinder to that point.

The Olympus Pen FT was in production between 1966 and 1972. It was the second in a series of three Pen F, half-frame SLR cameras.

Produced between 1966 and 1976, the Leica MDa was a Leica M body without a viewfinder. The MDa was specifically intended for the medical, scientific and industrial use with a stand, microscope or the Visoflex attachment.

In 1998 Hasselblad and Fujifilm released a camera that was like nothing else.

The WOCA 120 GF was made by Holga. It was different than the standard Holga because it had a glass lens and a flash. The WOCA name was eventually dropped and this model became the Holga 120 GFN.

In 1980, Nikon introduced the Nikonos IV-A. The Nikonos group of cameras was derived from the Calypso, a French underwater camera. With the IV-A, Nikon introduced a new design rather than a derivative interaction of the Calypso.

In production from 1985 to 1988, the Olympus OM-PC (OM-40) was marketed to the premium consumer market. Called the OM-40 in most markets, keeping with the OM-10, 20, and 30 naming logic. However, it was called the OM-PC for the American market. (Logic is over rated.)

The Leica CM was produced from 2004 to 2006 as Leica’s last attempt at a premium point and shoot. The prior attempt was the Leica Minilux . The Minilux rocked the same Summarit 40mm lens but the CM attempted to correct some of the Minilux issues.

Introduced in 1991 by Fuji, the K-28 was a purpose designed “Work Record” camera for the construction industry. The K-28 does not seem to have been marked outside Japan.

Released around 2000, the Sea & Sea MX-5 is a cheap point and shoot wrapped in a decent dive housing.

Produced in 1958 and limited to about 2,550 units, the VT de luxe M (VTDM) was the last of the VT de luxe models.
