Rolleicord

Sun Feb 22, 2009, 8:45 AM
I got up early this morning, for a sunday. Because I was going to Antwerp for an indoor photography exhibition, where second hand stuff is sold. The early birds always find the best goods.
I like putting my hands on old and very old cameras, I wasn't really planning on spending a lot of money.


But as before, I walked outside with a suprise. I bought a Rolleicord Vb :D
Something I've been thinking of a long time. The guy selling it, asked 125 €, but I managed to lower that amount to 100 €. I just checked eBay and found out that they go on sale for 200-400 euro.

So now I have 6x6 format Rollei, in excellent condition. I had the luck to be standing next to a guy who was willing to take a closer look at the Rolleicord, before I handed over the cash. I'm new to these cameras, so he helped me in deciding to buy. Afterwards he said I did an excellent buy, I think I spotted some jealousy.


So can't wait to put some 120 film in it. The top down mat glass viewfinder is a joy to use. I feel like a child and I feel my endless possibilities became.... even more endless. Once again.

In tegenstelling tot de dobbelsteenlamp, is dit niet mijn eigen creatie. Deze stond op een beurs in Dusseldorf. Enfin, niet dat dat zo interessant is :)

As far as my favorite punctuation mark goes, I prefer the comma.
