Is that the right blog link John? ... 11 December 2009?
The nymph wore Doc's
The camera that made boys into men and sometimes men into boys.
Everything on the wrong side, unless you were left handed.
Leica made the film change award by needing the baseplate to be removed
Then there was the Peiflex with a tiny periscope that was pushed down into the body so you could see what you were taking, it then popped up to take the photograph.
and many etc's. You may have some of them John I'm sure.

Dougie, I am lefthanded... So an Exakta makes perfect sense.
I have a Leica, but not a Periflex: I've seen and handled one, but it struck me as being near-unusable because of the long sequence of things you had to do to take a picture. I like cameras that are fun to use...

Known in Scotland as "Corrie Duked" John, not meant as a put down, I thank the Gods of Cameras that you didn't take a career up in camera building.
My career might have been along a different path. I used a Hasselblad for sometime in newspapers an excellent camera but it was never designed for the cut and thrust of newspapers. When you hit the sweet spot you were king of the hill, the lenses were that good.
When ordered to use the Hass on news assignments, you learn to use your elbows.
Alls fair in love and photography.

Makes me think of one of the comic characters in one of Shakespeare's comedies.....
