A Rolleiflex E, and bought again (the same) 8 months later It was great my Leica R lenses Super Angulon 21, Summicron 35, 50, 90 and Apo-Telyt 3,4/180 with Macro Adapter and some other Accessories for Macro. I've did no more use of this equipment, but it was nice. I've sold a Rigid Summicron in 2004, last June I've bought another really Mint. Maybe this is the similar history of many of us passionated for these toys, now I keep several 50's and other things...
