[rollei_list] Re: A sad loss to our group

Thanks Bob. He was an enthusiastic Rollei TLR cameras
user, he used a very complete home darkroom, I could
see some of his B&W photographs and I think he was a
painter too. He wrote interesting points of view to
the list; a sad loss to our group really.-

All the best
Carlos
