Pacific Rim Camera
Pages updated Septmeber 24, 2008.
Welcome to the Pacific Rim Camera home page. We are dealers in collectable
cameras, and are currently expanding into quality usable cameras as well.
However most of our usable stock has been disappearing into trades with
another dealer for more collectable stuff.
Our website has been experiencing urban sprawl. Like many major metropolitan areas, it's growing in every direction, with no end in sight. But unlike those cities, this growth is not bringing with it crime, traffic congestion and additional sports franchises. It does bring you a list of most of the reference books available to collectors (many not in English) with scans of the covers, a list of cameras that we buy (perpetually under construction), a reference section on collectable cameras (Photographica Pages, also under perpetual construction),
with photos of cameras, lenses, accessories and even original boxes! Also, links to stories and articles posted by us (although many aren't written by us) and even links to other camera related sites.
And of course, the catalog.
I've made the catalog without images, so that it will load quickly, and should be accessable to the most people.
Almost everything else has some graphics, and almost every area is constantly being made new and improved.
Check back from time to time.
If you wish to view the pages without frames (the menu that is always at the left), you can reload this page without frames by clicking noframes here.
Our reputation is one of our greatest assets. We are happy to have found a forum for posting feedback on
various camera stores. You can judge by other peoples experiences who are the good guys, and who aren't.
This forum is Photo.net Neighbor to Neighbor.
If you like our service, I hope you'll take a moment to share that with others here. If you don't, I certainly hope
you'll let us know, and if we don't make it right, then you'll post that as well.

The Photographica Pages
|
An online reference to collectable cameras. Not complete, but with an ever growing eclectic selection. Heavily illustrated.
|
|
Glossary of Terms
|
A list of the terms you might here us use, form as simple as "aperture" to as involved as "Zeiss bumps", with lots of stops in between. Mainly applies to collectable cameras (you won't find "predictive autofocus" here!)

|
Grading
|
A look at how we grade cameras. "Very Good" is NOT what you'd think!
|
|
We Buy Cameras!
|
Amazingly enough, we also buy cameras! Where did you think we get all of these cameras we have for sale?
An illustrated guide (in places) that will eventually cover most of the collectable cameras, lenses and accessories. Like many local highways, this is constantly under construction, and nothing ever seems to get accomplished. Pictures of many cool cameras- check out Nikon, Leica and Canon. With rough price ranges of what we pay.

Other interesting sites
|
A collection of links to pages we have posted, and to sites in far away lands (like Ohio). The title (Center of the Known Photographic Universe) may be a bit presumptious, but as I get time, I'll try to live up to it.
Thanks, and enjoy!
