Emmanuel,
Great news, though its sad we no longer get
Zeiss glass with the Rolleis. What happened
that Zeiss is so completely out of the picture?
Very much hoping to buy a Rollei FW some day but
too many other needed purchases for a while due
to the move to Rolleiland. Might settle for a
classic used Rolleiwide with the Distagon.
Definitely in the market for a Dual 66 P
projector without lens soon. I sold my 110 Volt
P11 in the US, but kept my three lenses (110, 150, 250mm).

I am 62, and want to get RID of all my
stuff. Hell, the other day I was getting out a
small shop-vac so my wife could clean her office
and found an ocular. I looked at it for about
five seconds, and then I realized that it was a
fitment for a Leitz PLOOT and I started to think
about the Leitz codewords. I have been around
this stuff for far too long. I have written
books. If someone will just come and buy it all,
then I can get back to writing the Murphy
Saga. My wife assures me that I am the dimmest
bulb of all the men she has known in her life,
and I suspect that she is correct. Just give me
a bottle and a glass (well, the glass is
optional) and a closet and a flashlight and I am good for all the night.
I do not have a P66 but I do have a Kiev slide
projector but that one is not up for sale until I
have gone through all of my MF slides -- that one
is the great sleeper in the trade, as Arsenal
makes wonderful slide projectors and, at Uman,
wonderful rifle scopes (yes, I have a Kiev scope
on my 1909 Argentine Mauser, rechambered to .
30-'06, and Jim Brick will be lecturing me about
that -- we first met on the 'Net about twenty
years back on the LUG, when he started telling me
all of the things I didn't know about why a
.30-'06 round oughtn't be pushed down an 8mm
bore. He was right, as he generally is. Still,
I can hit a normal target at 500 yards (27,000
hectares to those of you in nations which
subscribe to French Socialist System). (I met
Willy Ley and a lot of the SF guys of the time,
back in 1960. Jim knew the real greats of
photography. He and our Mike Fletcher knew
almost all of them -- Jim knew Ansel Adams
and Mike knew Capa's brother, and Carl Mydans. I
am honored to be the gentle moderator of a list
that includes such titans as these, and thank you for belonging here!)
Now, someone come and buy my stuff!
Be well,
Marc
