The US classic camera market simply won't be the same without him. Unless Tak changes his mind, the Carson Camera show last week was his last US show. I was in Keeble a few years ago talking with Paul Wood their used camera buyer when a very dignified looking Japanese gentleman walked up and asked : "Paul what do you have for me today?" Paul showed him 2-3 Rolleis. Looking them over briefly he asked "How much?" Paul gave a price...The man opened up a Haliburton business case, pulled out a wad of bills...Paid cash and stuffed the Rollei's in the Halliburton and walked away... Must have been Tak?
