🛠️ How We Grade Our Cameras

No two cameras are identical, every camera is unique, has its own story and is truly a piece of history. We do our best to group them into three cosmetic categories so you can choose the one that's best for you.

VERY GOOD:

A "very good" body will have minimal signs of wear and tear. Examples include slight impurities like  worn leather or metal, signs of age on the bottom plate, and dull marks. 

GOOD:

A “good” body will also look nice but have some additional potential cosmetic wear such as spots with discoloration,  worn down metal or small scratches somewhere on the body.

AVERAGE:

An “average” body will be a more severe case of cosmetic wear like more extreme discoloration or worn down metal, exterior or interior black
specs, deeper scratches, or lines in the eye prism.

Good Vibes come in small packages

This was my first foray into film cameras and I couldn't have been happier with the quality or experience. It might as well be brand new because it arrived in immaculate condition. Will definitely be back for another one.

Cutest Camera Company

I have been collecting film cameras or any brand.
I been looking for a fully working/repaired OM-1 which cuz my old Olympus OM-1 light meter broke.
I didn't want to repair it cuz it was my moms camera so found this Company and bought this OM-1 which worked perfectly shipping was fast and adorable packaging. Might as well stick with this company.

Olympus OM-1

My Olympus OM-1 arrived from Cute Camera Co. in Austin, Texas. My first 35mm camera.
I quickly loaded some Kodak Gold 200 and headed down to the Community Center Lake chasing the fading light.

I have been a digital photographer for 20 years and now I am adding film photography as well.

The camera is a real beaut. Heavy. All metal. It's designed to work without a battery. I sprang for the warranty as well.
It was first manufactured in Japan the year I was born.

Looking forward to this next step and excited to share something when I have something to share.
