Chicago Area Camera Show

Step into the world of photography at the Chicago Camera Show!

Explore thousands of cameras, lenses, and photographic collectibles under one roof. Vendors, collectors, and camera shops from across the Midwest will gather to buy, sell, and trade gear with attendees.

While most vendors specialize in analog and vintage equipment, you’ll also find DSLR and mirrorless cameras, plus lighting, darkroom, and studio gear. Whether you’re a seasoned collector searching for rare pieces or a beginner looking to get started, there’s something here for every level of photographer — from classic student film cameras to medium and large format systems.

Have gear to sell? Just bring it along! Dealers on-site will evaluate your equipment and make offers on the spot. You’re welcome to visit multiple tables to compare offers — all in one convenient location.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
