A Rollei in its everready case is a true traveller's camera: the case flips open very easily for use, but it also affords a lot of protection against bumps and scrapes. When I'm on the road this is often the only camera I bring. I'm trying to think of downsides to the TLR, but it's hard: obviously, there are no interchangable lenses. The shutter is vibration-free, but it's tricky to hand-hold the camera at waist-level for "available light" shots -- perhaps a prism would make things easier here. Buy it!

The two great classics! Bill Lawlor
