Decided to use this as a catch-all for interesting images or links about photography.

Vivitar 283 Flash

If you were into photography in the 1980's I think there is a good chance that you used this flash at some time.  Ad from 1981.

Olden Camera

I would guess this place is not still in business.  At least it doesn't have any presence on the internet that I could find.  Still in 1956 when this ad was placed it probably was at the height of prosperity.

Ciro 35

The Ciro 35 may be the only camera that was produced by three different companies.  It was introduced as the Cee-ay 35 by Perfex in 1949.  Eight months later Ciro bought the design and made the camera featured in the ad. In 1953 Graflex bought Ciro and renamed the camera the Graflex Ciro 35.
