Yes I'm getting it Rollei is the Teflon camrea. Just when you think it's
dead this time for sure some new entity has thrown a fresh life saver. This
had happened decade after decade.
I'm saying the things we think are standards which will always be with us
may not. At least the companies which make them. The companies can go under
but the cameras still keep clicking. How long has Deardorf company been
pushing up daises? Its still the greatest camrea when the votes come in from
all the top people and that's in the present tense. Classic camrea concepts
don't always need living companies to back there. We can cannibalize bodies
for spare parts. And they often have an elegant simplicity on their side.
Who would have thought overnight a 5000 dollar classic Hasselblad setup
would be worth 500? To me though all mine needs is a prosumer digital back.
