My Dedication to Mechanical Perfection

My fascination began not with taking photos, but with the intricate, clockwork soul of the cameras that took them. From the tactile click of a shutter to the smooth glide of a focusing helicoid, every mechanism tells a story of precision engineering. For decades, I have devoted myself to understanding, restoring, and preserving these miniature marvels.

GARY P GRIECO isn't just about repair; it's a commitment to resurrecting the heritage embedded in every vintage film camera. My workshop in Middletown, Delaware, is where passion meets unparalleled expertise, ensuring your treasured instrument not only functions but thrives for generations to come. I am a vintage camera expert, a film camera history enthusiast, and a restoration specialist committed to excellence.
