Met Bob the Postman out in Brentwood High Street and he wanted to pose for me as he knows he will get a PRINT ! I used my 1956-59 Era ROLLEIFLEX 2.8 E Xenotar now it has been repaired. It WAS a Press Snapper's camera and he sold it to a member of the Rotary Club who would never let me see it . One day I got a phone call " Tony DIED and I have a load of his Old Camera stuff here if you would like it " so I rushed there with my Son and his Widow brought out a huge DUSTY BOX --" Oh Dear -- will get into trouble with The Wife for bringing home another load of old Dirty Rubbish " I thought -- BUT after smuggling it indoors there was an Olympus XA2 kit, Olympus OM2n with 2 lenses, deeper down was a dirty brown case -- it was the Infamous ROLLEI 2.8 E Xenotar !
