Today I went a museum in Tokyo that is dedicated solely to cameras. The collection is pretty epic, something on the order of a few thousand cameras. There are only a few hundred or so on display, but that’s still plenty. My favorite part was the “petting zoo section” where there were cameras to pick up and check out.
There are some sweet collections of fancy cameras like old Leicas, old Kodaks, old 8mm film cameras, and a few disassembled cameras (film and digital).
They don’t allow the taking of pictures in the photography museum (um, what?), but that didn’t stop me and my super-discreet ninja spy photo skills.
