Hiding in the back of the closet! I was going through a closet, and was flabbergasted to find this lurking behind some jeans I can no longer wear. I have no idea where it came from...

I was going through a closet, and was flabbergasted to find this lurking behind some jeans I can no longer wear. I have no idea where it came from, and neither does my wife. It appears to be in like-new condition, not sure if the shutter has ever operated.

I'm still digging through that closet - could there be a Leica tucked away in there?

I used to have one of them. Nice camera, but awkward position for framing a photo. I never did get used to it, but it was fun using it. I gave it to a friend, and she used it for years. I could take 120 or 220 film.

Wanna stop by and look through my closets? I've gone through them and can't find anything I didn't already know about. However, since you seem to have a magic touch- I'll split the proceeds of anything you can find with you for your trouble. :)

I've wanted to play around with medium or large format film for some time now. I'm getting my chance! From what I can gather in a quick trip to Google, this was a hobbyist camera, by no means a Rollei. But should be fun.

Ha! Unfortunately, I'm still looking for lost socks, the original purpose of my search.

Well it was a thought- good luck with the socks.

So you don't have an inventory room-by-room? :D

That's much better than what I thought I was going to see hiding in the back of your closet...something alive.

ONe just like it was my first "good camera". Battireis are hard to find for the meter. You have to get the new "air" type and they just don't last. The one you have in it may be good. I have the same size in my Minolta SLR's and they are 25 yrs old and still work. When you close the hood the meter goes off. - Dave

I don't plan to use the meter in the camera, I'll use a standalone meter or take a parallel shot with a digital camera.

sooooooooooo I looked in my closet, hoping.
No such luck, just an old dufflebag from 1978 when I left the Army.
No nuttin fits but the boots.
Old clothes must shrink if you don't wear them
