Ha Ha, this is a pry from my dead hands camera…\ud83d\ude00<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s one fun part about being connected to so many amazing photographers and bloggers over the world because of the Internet. Often you come up with ideas like this, a whole series of posts on the same subject with a coordinated release. This idea comes from Jim Grey (Down the Road), from a conversation where Theo (PhotoThinking) was looking for links for his review of the Voigtlander Superb. Peggy (Camera Go Camera) suggested he give her the camera, and Theo replyed “this is a pry this from my dead hands camera.” Jim jumped on this and came up with the idea, the limit of five came from Stephen (Kosmo Foto) because that’s the number of fingers on one hand. I thought this a brilliant idea and jumped aboard right away, even if it meant putting the post on a day that doesn’t normally see a publication this year, but it’s my birthday and my blog and I’ll do what I want to. And honestly it was more difficult than I thought to narrow the list down to five. I needed to give myself some criteria, and it came very quickly, one single idea. I could not use cameras that belonged to a family member and in my collection as safe keeping. Those you can pry from my other cold dead hand, these are cameras that I use on a regular (or semi-regular) basis that I could not imagine letting go of. Without further delay, here’s the list.<\/p>\n

Franke & Heidecke Rolleiflex 2.8F<\/strong>
\nThis one will come as no surprise, my Rolleiflex 2.8F has been a constant companion and my third TLR. Besides being an amazing camera with a long complex history, amazing optics, and a format that I adore. This Rolleiflex is special because I’m owner number two. I purchased it from the original owner who bought it in Germany back in 1969. It’s gotten a bit more beaten up over the nearly ten years I’ve had it and it has seen a lot of travel and rolls of film through it.<\/p>\n
