Ha! Where did you get that little beauty from? Do you have the model details? You know that there's no going back now!

[Domenico Dodaro]

Wow, so wonderful! A bright quote of Vivian Maier

[Richard Sayer]

Yep, you're shaping up nicely to be the next Vivian Maïer!

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

Great camera. I love medium format film. Cool shot. :)

[8yearson]

That looks a serious bit of kit, I'm impressed!

@caseyrybeck I have had it for a year and hardly used it,Lou sent it to me this is like a coming out photo, i somehow get stagefright, and i am too shy to bring it out around people but i enjoy holding it. As far as i know its an automat model with a schnieder-kreuznach f3.5 lens

@domenicododaro @vignouse @swillinbillyflynn @jackie8 isnt it gorgeous :)

[Helen Jane]

It is a really lovely portrait and you certainly look to be in your element.

[Brett Jennings]

@kali66 Just march out and start taking pictures of people - it's so odd looking now people love it! It's always a good little talking point, people assume you know what you're doing and because it's used at waist level it's very unthreatening. Just do it! BTW what's the serial number? It's just under the Rolleiflex sign.

Which would make it a Rolleiflex 3.5 MX-EVS http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Rolleiflex_3.5_series

@kali66 Glorious. Enjoy it! So simple. Once you get the hang of it, you can hand hold to 1/15 or 1/8. Also works great on a tripod with shutter release cable screwed into the shutter button. Michael Rennie just posted an incredible 2 hour exposure of star trails using the same camera.

[Louis A. Sousa]

Kali, you can do double exposures with it. There is a switch on the winding side that you engage, then wind and the film does not advance.

@pickerandagrinner yeah i need that, i just accidently triggered the self timer with the film ready to fire!

[kali]

@caseyrybeck thankyou, i will read up

[Caroline]

@kali66 beautiful photo... a great classic camera, yes - others have weighed in on it much better than I could - but besides that, the softness of your likeness, with the movement in the hair just so - and the tones. I love it.

[kali]

@kerosene thankyou Caroline, i maybe should have brushed my hair first lol

[Kathy A]

[summerfield]
