Film camera shop

Every camera is one of a kind, so every camera has its own condition report, its own repair history and its own photographs. When one is sold the page stays — it just says so.

The problem

A shop selling second-hand film cameras cannot use an ordinary catalogue. There is one of each item, every one is in a different condition, and once it is gone it is gone — but the page still has to work, because people search for that model for years.

What I built

A page per camera, not per model. Its own photographs, condition report and repair history: what was replaced, what was cleaned, what still shows its age.

Condition in words, not stars. A scale from "as new" to "working, with marks", with close-ups of the marks themselves.

A comparison that decides it. Two or three cameras side by side: format, weight, lens mount, what is included, what needs servicing.

Sold means sold. The page stays, says so, and offers the closest alternatives in stock — nothing is silently deleted, so search traffic is never lost.
