World’s Most Expensive Camera
A daguerreotype camera dating from 1839 has sold at auction for 588,613 euros, becoming the world’s most expensive camera. An anonymous buyer paid the vast amount for the daguerreotype camera in an auction on Sunday organised by the Galerie Westlicht in Vienna, Austria. The camera lay undiscovered in a loft in Munich, Germany since 1940 and was accidentally discovered by its owner.

these cameras are cool but i think they need color to them.

never mind the steep price tag.
is the camera still working alright in the first place ? if not , then , that guy just
paid a fortune over some other grandma's remains.
i am saying this remark because
from where I came from
a photographer still makes his living
employng a cloth- shrouded camera
and makes manually-timed film exposures
by removing the lens cover by hand
and then replacing them in the same manner
after the procedure.
the resultant black and white prints
were not bad , either !
