While running a class last Sunday I spotted a person out with an old timer !!! Does bring back memories, as a kid my dad had one with him all the time. I like to think those cameras made you work harder in framing !!!

Comments welcome and much appreciated !!!

If you do go for the 2.8 since its much more of a collectors item and will have a better resale. The 3.5 should be cheaper !!! Both look the same.

She did use 2 1/4 so probably was a Rolliflex !!! Sure had a tragic and early ending !!!
