I'm feeling an urge to sweep out the darkroom and buy some chemicals and 120 B&W film. Neither of these sweet things has been outdoors in several years, and it's a shame to let them languish.




The one on the left has a f/3.5 75mm lens and dates to 1951. It was my aunt's camera, and it was her fault that I got hooked on the habit of photography.

I bought the one on the right in 1967, used, for $270 from a pro I knew who had it for a backup camera and rarely used it. He bought it new in 1955. It has a f/2.8 75mm lens. Both are fully manual cameras, with no meters or electronics whatever. I have the original Rollei leather cases and chrome lens caps for both cameras.
