This webpage is currently under construction (and until I get out of my rocking chair and do something useful, it’s likely to remain so 😴). As you can tell straight away, I've not got far with this list;¹ I’ll get it finished soon, though (maybe 😬).

It’s one of those sites where you’ll think "why has no one thought of this before?" If you're looking for vintage camera gear, usedlens.co.uk has you covered; just pop your details in the search and get instant results on the fly. The site is constantly maintained and updated by fellow photographer Dan Cooke.

Robert Monaghan’s website is sadly no more, but there's an archive of medfmt.8k.com on the Wayback Machine. There’s a lot of valuable info, here, but I mainly use the site to reference third-party lenses. I don’t know what happened to Robert or why the site was removed — <i> thank goodness the content was saved, though!</i>

A very long time ago, way before I got into photography, I used to build my own hi-fi gear; Rod Elliott’s website was (and still is) like a bible to me. If you’re into this sort of thing, you’ll likely have heard of sound-au.com; it’s an extremely informative site (as a bonus, you can also find a rare <a href="https://youtu.be/mjfOTRBqpJw?si=a72Zc66vD0MYtRbY">interveiw with Rod</a> on YouTube).

I wouldn’t normally include any retail sites in this list, but polarbearcamera.com is an exception. When searching for tools and materials to repair my cameras and lenses, it's always the first place I look (there’s also an <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/polarbearcamera">eBay store</a> available in addition to the main site, and everything’s shipped directly from within the UK).
