Saludos cordiales Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Alastair Firkin Enviado el: s?bado, 17 de febrero de 2007 0:22 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: [Leica] Arrival of a "new" baby 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: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alastair/album184/Collections/ box.jpg.html> http://www.tiny.cc/6IVil Image 2: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alastair/album184/Collections/ comingout.jpg.html> http://www.tiny.cc/dD45u Image 3: <<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alastair/album184/Collections/ delivery.jpg.html> http://www.tiny.cc/vsUPE 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 _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
