G'day all,

As some of you know, I have a small collection of Rolleiflex cameras.  
The latest "delivery" (its been a few years) arrived this week:

the 1965 post war baby was really a bit of a failure. Of course, that  
makes it all the more collectable. The shutter is a bit "stiff", but  
that is probably because it looks like very little film went through  
it. 127 was dying when it came out: the film was more expensive than  
the larger 120 format and there were few new cameras. Rollei of  
course kept making them ;-)

Cheers

Alastair
