If I dropped my Rollei into single malt whiskey, should I choose one of the top
selling Japanese brands or should I stick to something from Scotland?
Seriously though, I think we have been drifting off topic a little more than
is normal here. I think the underlying problem is that Rollei's are such
straight forward reliable, intuitive machines, that there just isn't a lot to
talk about.
All the best
