Hi Austin,
I worked in camera stores in the late 50's and early 60's and saw who was
buying Rolleis; There were simply a lot more advanced amateurs than pros.
I base it on observation/recollection.
In the 60's when I studied photojournalism in college, the market had
already swung to 35mm!
Regards,
Charlie

Yes, there were a lot of photojournalists who used them, but their numbers
were dwarfed by the number of 'advanced amateurs'!

I guess all the Photojournalists who used them for their day to day work
did not know they were amateurs. :-)

Now that I didn't know. That's really interesting. Old news for you, news
to me.
Adds to the mystique. Thanks.
