Antique & 19th Century Cameras
Rob's 27th International Show Listing
64 shows as of 13 April 2026 (there were 55 total in 2025): There should be more to come. Although late in the year, many organizers are still working on confirming their shows and fairs.
Before committing to travel and attendance, I strongly suggest checking show websites links and contacting organizers for their latest information. Shows have a habit of changing dates, locations/venues, and being canceled. I cannot guarantee keeping up with and posting all the changes.
Also feel free to contact me if you know of show(s) not listed.
When I first started this list, there were 180+ shows, and this webpage became the most comprehensive listing of international camera shows on the Internet!
And ... it's time to start letting me know about 2027 shows.
