Tamarkin Auctions, Inc.

Company founder Stan Tamarkin started collecting, buying, selling and trading Leica cameras in 1971. Soon afterward, he formed Tamarkin Camera in New Haven, Connecticut. From 1995 to 2008 Tamarkin Camera also had a showroom in New York City. In 2010, Stan retired from Tamarkin Camera and his eldest son, Dan, took over the family business and moved it to downtown Chicago.

In 1996, Stan began auctioning rare cameras and created a successful rare camera auction business, which is now Tamarkin Auctions, also based in Chicago, Illinois.

As America’s foremost auctioneer specializing in fine collectible photo equipment, we have auctioned millions of dollars of collectible camera gear. Our auction catalogues are collected and used worldwide as a reference tool and price guide.
