So, Melanie and I are heading to Paris May 13-20. If you too happen to be in
Paris that week, you will be able to identify me by my Art Deco Rolleicord:

Paul Ebel was kind enough to put this camera back into service for me -- it
needed a new mirror and a Maxwell screen, and lots of swearing and lubrication.
Even so, the focus lacks the smooth movement of a modern Rolleiflex -- Paul
reports that the build quality of early Rolleicords doesn't match up to the
postwar cameras. If any of you on the list have any experience shooting this
camera, I would love to hear your thoughts. My first roll of film taught me
that (1) the Triotar doesn't much like strong light sources, and (2) there is
no stop when you advance the film to the next frame. What else do I need to
know?
