yeh~~good long-lasting humanistic photo-taking machine. While people almost forget those which were 80 years ago and have gone away, it holds them and is still going on and reminds us that time.
The pre-war watcher is always watching things happening to the world we are, WWII, Korean War, Iron Curtain…and it shall being watching things happening in the future.
It is quite amazing to think about just how much history some of these old cameras have witnessed. My Rolleiflex (according to the date written on the mirror) was built in the last months of Weimar Germany, before the emergence of the Third Reich. Simply incredible that it survived the war, never mind the 70 years after that.
