RE: [Rollei] Maybe OT - What's the oldest?

[Ferdi Stutterheim <ferdi]

Well, that must be the wretched Praktica Super TL and I recently found a bag
of Promicrol developer by May & Baker and a roll of Agfa Isopan ISS.

So mutch for "treasures".

I still have a Contax RTS and a Gossen Sixtar. I use them both (now and
then).

Kind regards,

Ferdi.
