Today, I sold two of my most favorite and sacred "never sell" cameras- my beloved Rolleiflex SL-66 and my Rolleiflex 2.8C.
Both went for a good price to a cousin, but man, I needed a drink after that.

I changed my avatar as I don't wanna see any Rollei's until I'm out of tight financial straits.
Still have my Hassy though!

Happy Holidays guys!

Ah, thanks guys. Very good advice.

If I had no medium format at all, that would be bad. But I am loving the Hassy, so life is good.

I have my health, my wife and furry kids, lots to be grateful for.


Dog's ready to go to work with me, Cat, not so much!

Here's hoping thing improve for you, I haven't worked for over 18 months but luckily haven't had to sell any of my treasures due to belt tightening and other austerity measures.

You've my sympathy, I've been in that situation myself. I sold my Flexilette, a couple of Exaktas (3 in fact including the RTL1000) a Metz hammerhead and my prized Sigma 135mm f1.8. Gutted about the lens, as a keen stage photographer it was perfect but I got a few quid for it in 1985
