For what Seagulls, Yashica's, Autocords, or Mamiyas are going for the Rolleicord makes a lot of sense. I found the focusing/winding action easier than on the fles or the Yashicamats and the German build quality just can't be beat. Besides, at $100-$200 you have not spent a lot of money even if you do not use the camera very much.
