There was a guy at the Barnes and Noble last week on Broadway Lincoln
Triangle Manhattan wearing a Stetson hat and had a Yashica twin lens around
his neck I thought they were 120. It had an odd flash hanging off the side.
I tried to engage in in conversation told him we were on the same team but
he was not all that friendly. We were waiting on line for espressos.
Often I see people with Leica's like once a week and have a nice chat with
the people. Not one of them have been on the LUG yet.
But a twin lens person is a rare thing.
