WHAT IS F-STOP SWAP

F-Stop Swap is a used camera equipment and tech swap, held two times a year in the greater Minneapolis area. At the F-Stop Swap you can find anything from Alpa to Zeiss --collectables to professional equipment -- large format to digital. So, if you looking to buy, sell or trade almost anything in the way of photo equipment, movie, or special brands of gear, come check out our next show. NEWS FLASH: OUR NEXT SHOW IN OCTOBER WILL INCLUDE A LARGE SELECTION OF COLLECTABLE IMAGES.

The F-Stop Swap traces it's roots back to 1987, when the Doug Erickson, had his first show at the Knollwood Shopping center. Originally the shows were called P.W.U.C (People Who Use Cameras), but some people started to refer to it as the "PUKE" show. So, a contest was held, for a new show name. Walter Freugel was the winning of the naming contest. His idea of the F-Stop Swap has been used ever since. Now, in 2006 the show draws several hundred people, who can browse over 70 tables of New and Used Photo items. Sellers come from all over the US to buy, sell and trade equipment. Sellers range from the hobbyist to some of the largest used camera equipment dealers in the Midwest.

As of May 1st, 2006 Doug Erickson, has retired from promoting the show but will continue to be part of the show as a seller, selling a broad range of photo and tech equipment. Doug has sold to show to me.
