Used Photo-Line for Sale

The story of Photo-Line is a classic post-war import tale. Never a grinding factory, Photo-Line was the house label of a New York mail-order giant on 27th Street that spotted a gap: British and American hobbyists wanted Japanese quality without Leica prices. By partnering with Cosina in Nagano and Samyang in Korea, Photo-Line delivered. Its cult model is the Photo-Line Electro 35 style rangefinder - an affordable classic that put medium format or 35mm in thousands of hands. Today Photo-Line is a rewarding hunt for its honest build and distinctive rendering.
