Of interest to me is the several sources of black and white outside of the classics source whose hand rolled you name it is too rich for my blood. I'm not putting it down. A Baby Rollei would make a nice companion for a Leica in a camera bag I would think. Marc James Small should fill you in on it I'm sure. I understand the optics are up to par for Rolleiflex. Tops.
