[rollei_list] Re: rollei Central Park "Gates" Photographs

A good question Eric. Perhaps I was expecting too much. I certainly 
enjoyed walking through the park, looking at the gates, photographing 
them, and interacting with other people. I guess that's more than 
enough. I'm planning on returning tomorrow, so "over-rated" might not 
have been the right choice of words.

BTW, my Rolleiflex attracted a fair amount of attention. One women 
asked "is that a Leica?" A young photographer (using a '70s manual SLR 
at least as old as he was) described a Rolleiflex his girlfriend got 
from her grandfather and asked if they could still be used.
