Thank you for the overview. What is the name of the book and the
author's full name?
What was the black eye? Doug

It's a history of how Rollei got started up at the turn of the 20th century
by Franke & Heidecke, their initial product line (stereo cameras) and then
the subsequent history of their TLRs (through both wars). It's a fairly
quick read, but gives you some sort of insight into how large the company
grew, when it reached its pinnacle, and how the SLR ultimately brought it
down. A nice overview of the company's history with only one unfortunately
"black eye" that occurred around WWII.

I just finished reading Ian Parker's book (for the second time...I was a Rollei neophyte the first time I read it). I noticed this morning that there are two copies of it for sale on e**y. If you live and breathe Rollei, it's a good read.
