Hi All,

 

I've recently seen postings of Fashion photography where the model is holding

some favorite piece and we've either been asked to identify or at least

speculate on the merits of this use of our favorite objects... cameras I mena!!

 

Well I was recently approached by the Aldi Sports and Casual wear group to

represent their Fall collection... I thought I'd bringing one of my classics to

the photoshoot would be appreciated... they used the Hassy despite my generous

offer!.... Jsut kiddin'!

 

I needed a magnifier to read the Model name.. those that know it of

course will recognize it immediately. I didn't! Does this really have a crank

winder like a Rollei? The color scheme is nice too... I see one mentioned in

Sandra Toth's listing as well... Comments welcome! .. BTW I bought the shirt

for four Euros just to post it here!<div></div>

It's a Kodak Duoflex. That not a rapid winder. Not sure of the function never having used one. They go for about $10 on eBay. I think I have one around here somewhere.

Sorry, Duaflex. Probably a brown plastic model IV. Not all have the chrome arm.

I've got one of those! Todd is correct. It is a Duaflex IV and that is not a winding arm. It's just a piece of metal trim that runs between the shutter release button and the winder knob.<div></div>

I did a post about the Duaflex earlier in the year. http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00Ko4J
