It was just as you described... the perfect camera to learn on. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I lost most of the cameras I had in 1977 in an apartment burglery, including the Retina. My two SLRs and some lenses were conveniently in my camera bag and the Retina and a Crown Graphic sitting out on a shelf - and they were all taken. <br /><br />For old time's sake, I do want to get a decent, working Retina 1 for my collection one of these days.Steve Rosenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402392123559559966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781482943379174553.post-8334984898775014012010-08-02T11:41:01.693-07:002010-08-02T11:41:01.693-07:00First of all, I just wanted to say that your blog ...First of all, I just wanted to say that your blog is great and an inspiration for aspiring camera collectors such as myself.
