Paparazzo himself, though has a big Braun
electronic flash bolted to his Rolleiflex - with a separate battery.
This makes me remember that the strobe I bought
in Panama in 1953nwas most likely a little
Braun, powered by a high voltage battery, with
the battery and capacitor in a separate
pouch. It's the one I had to grind an X-sync
grove on the shutter drive shaft in my C4. It
couldn't have cost much since I was living on
$35 per month during that summer cruise.
Don, that is about $US 275 in real money. Not a
bad wage for a kid, especially as it was all
found. Did you do a LOT of drinkin' and whorin'
about that summer? Say no more! Your wife may be listening in!
