Yes. The wind is my master.

Now the Cosina-made Rollei rangefinger is one dud of a camera. Adorma is 
selling them as overstock. What brainless person thought they could sell 
a $500 Cosina for $1,900 by giving it a not very attractive facelift and 
affixing the Rollei name? The three people who bought them will have 
real collector's items in 25 years.
