Our Story So Far

  • 2020

    We kickstarted our camera trading company in 2020, specialising in collectible cameras.

    We received numerous requests from collectors to track down their "Hard to Find" items, and with our successful efforts, we found and earned ourselves a reputable name.

  • 2021

    Our sales took off and expanded to analogue and digital cameras, as well as accessories.

    In August 2021, we secured a 300m2 office space in Zwaag, Netherlands, and we'd love to welcome you by appointment.

  • 2022

    We established partnerships to provide our customers with the best deals possible, and attended international camera fairs to expand our knowledge and network.

    In November, we launched our website www.htf-store.com, attracting a diverse range of international customers. In just two years, we've sold over 10,000 cameras!

  • 2023

    We're constantly evolving and expanding our offerings. In 2023, we launched HTF-STORE V2 that allows customers to browse our products in their preferred language and currency.

    Our inventory now includes high-end equipment and video equipment. We're excited to announce that our new website is now live, and we're continuously adding new equipment to our stock.

  • 2024

    In March we launched our new branding.

    We have more exciting plans for 2024. Our primary objective is to acquire a new building that will serve as the epicenter for our store, museum, studios, and film development labs.

    It's noteworthy that our museum contains a vast collection of over 3,000 cameras!

    Moreover, we're broadening our supplier network to provide the latest equipment to customers globally.
