lauren_macintosh Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 <p> Well most people stay inside and stay warm on rainy days , Not me went out Bought a Rolleiflex in very excellent condition and looks like it has been well cared for : Now I can only hope this is my last camera, since every time I lost a bid on a rolleiflex ,I'd buy another camera : Time will tell :</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralf_j. Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 <p>Very nice Lauren, seems to be in very nice condition. If you plan to shoot black and white, a Bay-1 yellow filter would be ideal for this camera. Show us some results.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerwb Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 <p>Eventually the 2.8 Planar will be calling for you.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 <p>Last camera, HA!<br> I've even told myself that when I "completed" my original "collection" that would be all.</p> <p>But enjoy this one. I'm actually not a big fan of TLRs, so the only one I have is my Weltaflex; but I would someday like to have a nice Rolleiflex.</p> <p>Post some pictures when you get there.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_bock Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 <p>I hope you have lots of fun with it. It has taken many great photos.<br> It is in better condition than my 1938 Rollei no. <img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/2104/LOCALS~1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /> <img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/2104/LOCALS~1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" /> 599872 which I still have. I paid 94 Aust ponds for it in 1954 when my student's allowance was 4 Aust pounds per week. Today I use a Pentax K10D.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw12dz Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 <blockquote> <p>Now I can only hope this is my last camera,</p> </blockquote> <p>Sort of like an alcoholic telling themselves that this is their last drink. The first thing that you need to do is stand up and admit that you are a cameraholic. There is no known cure.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_lockerbie Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 <p>Forget that last camera thing Lauren....you know it's not going to happen! Congrats on the Rollei, a truly great camera, now you need an old 'Cord to go with it......come on, you know you do!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_stack Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 <p>The only time "last camera" applies, is to the final purchase of today.</p> <p>Take heart, there's always tomorrow.</p> <p>What a score, nice find, you'll LOVE the Tessar, enjoy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw12dz Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 <p>I attend a Cameraholics meeting once a month. Doesn't do a bit of good. Last meeting they had an auction!

michael_cienfuegos Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 <p>I found a 1939 model this past week on fleabay. Not quite as nice as yours, but very nice, I have a roll of TMY-2 400 to shoot this weekend, I hope. I'm helping my GF pack for a move, it has cut into my playtime. I just picked up a Kodak Panoram #1 2 weeks ago, I have to stop some day, not sure when that day will be. :^)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
