Welcome to Peter's
Links Page


Your key to some great websites
VER the past few years I've had a lot of interest and helpful advice from a lot of camera collecting and repairing websites. My thanks to everybody on them. I've listed some of them here, so do visit them. I hope you'll get as much interest and help as I have had.
If any of these links don't work please let me know, or if your site isn’t here, and you think I’d enjoy it, drop me an email: peter@peterwallage.com
