Ilott Vintage takes classic mid-century rangefinder cameras and refurbishes them to working order. You do remember cameras that use film, right? Well, Ilott replaces their worn out leathers with wood veneer making each camera completely unique and one-of-a-kind. They also make sure each one passes a round of tests to ensure that it functions correctly before they put it on the market.

Unique and one-of-a-kind? As opposed to unique yet not one-of-a-kind?

$1800 for an Argus C3? That’s got to be a joke. Those things pile up at flea markets for $5 a pop. If you dipped it in platinum and emeralds it still wouldn’t be worth $1800. A Konica S2, on the other hand, is a decent little rangefinder, but you can get a good working one for $50 or less. Are you really going to pay $2K for a bit of wood veneer? SRSLY?
