It took me some time to figure out the acronym RFDR - the articles are interesting, and those bargains are still valid, although maybe a Contax II or Leica IIIc would not fall in the bargain category today. A bit puzzled about why a Retina was not included.

Keppler vintages are always a treat to read.
