I went out shooting in a terrarium with a acquaintance of mine last year
(who's a bit on the renown side) and he shot his Rollei 6x6 SLR. The one
with the built in bellows.
He had gone up and down the northwest coast with Bret Weston both shooting
with this camera when it first came out.
Bret Weston went to this camera and I don't believe he moved on to others
afterward.
Impressive for a guy who once ran up and down the streets of NYC with an
11x14 view camera over his shoulder.

But you can relate with that Jim!
