Mr Bigler's Coments on the meaning of "Cranky" amused me. They also brought to
mind a poster of Rollei models which I saw on the wall in Nippon Photo Clinic
on broadway, when I was bringing in my F3 for service yesterday. What
intrigued me was some models of the tlr beginning around the nineteen sixties.
These appeared to have a large rectangular base, and a cylindrical protrusion
on the side where the crank would be on the camera. I assume that these were
motor driven models, but I wonder what was their original use. They seemed as
though they were designed to be shot from a fixed location as the whole
arrangement seemed far to unwieldy to hand hold.
All the best
