i was just surveying some cameras that i picked up , german made of course, in the 1950's and came to realise that they are rather nice pieces of engineering exellence.
One of my favorites is the Praktiflex, complete with waist level finder. They are very sharp cameras! for all the new fandangled innovations , i don't mind using the old chrome clunkers. they are heavy, old ,but still in some situations outperform modern cameras. I must say that most of the 1950 cameras i have are a lot quieter than my Pentax *isd... thanks to the fact they are rangefinders with leaf shutters.
I think i can see a new habit forming....the slow aquisition of dinosaur cameras.....
