Marc, All I can say is that I hope my apparently feeble attempt at humor does not trigger the end of the list! I've been a photographer for nearly 40 years but a Rollei user for perhaps 18 months. This list and those contributing to it have most certainly helped me come up to speed on the Rolleiflex, its use, history, and a whole lot more. The current contributions as well as the archives are a valuable resource. I thank you and everyone who has contributed his time and knowledge.
