The language issue always appears for this kind of discussions, my
point is I perceive you tend to underestimate the Rollei cameras (TLR
and 35) as photographic tools from different point of views in several
of your posts, from the focusing system to the square format and this
time discussing on a photographer you did not recall well, following
your own explanation.
My English is bad in general and even worse when I write quickly, I
always expect a harsh comment about it, BTW a harsh comment on my
English does not mean you are closer to the truth.
