While on vacation in Italy, I spotted this gentleman looking at Real Estate prices in Cortona, Italy. I always like to check out what kind of equipment other people are using.

An oldie but goodie. I read that one street photographer (I forget who, but BD and others here probably know) liked these because it was easy to point the camera sideways and shoot in stealth mode. Most people would never know, since you're not facing them. Probably takes some getting used to, though.

Well, the recently discovered Vivian Maier, for one, but any number of greats used Rolleis.Interestingly enough, this is one of the few film cameras that has really held it's value. I suppose it hasn't hurt that Richard Avedon used them...
