Saw this guy shooting tigers at the Miami zoo. After a couple of shots, I had a chat and he was gracious to show me the camera, Rolleiflex SLX 6x6. The sound of the shutter was sweet.

    I was much more interested in the specs of his camera than your boring DSLR and lens. What is that lens exactly. (I know it isn't a Nikon 55mm.)
    If not now, when?

    Sorry don't know. I didn't want to bother the guy too much so I didn't ask questions. Just took pictures.
