Welcome to Retro Rangefinders

My name is Derek Taylor and I run the Retro Rangefinders website. I collect, service, repair and sell mainly rangefinder Cameras from the 1960s to 1980s, as well as occasional compact viewfinder cameras from time to time. Currently I don’t take on repair jobs for other people - all the cameras I sell have been serviced for my own personal use. All my cameras are in full working order and have been film tested by myself.

I am not in the business of flipping cameras – I buy and fix these cameras simply for my own enjoyment and then pass on so that someone else can enjoy them, knowing they are getting a fully functioning and cared for camera that will last. I am based in the UK, but I will ship worldwide.

As well as cameras, I also produce and sell my own self-published photo zines and books mainly about the North of England – please take a look at the Zines and Books pages to see what’s currently available.
