I've got a soft spot for psuedo-TLR cameras. I think they are cool looking and there is something about looking down at the world through their distorted waist level viewfinders that feeds my soul. One of my favorites is the Ansco Rediflex.
Last night I picked up (on that infernal auction site) one of the mintiest Rediflex kits you will probably ever see. It (quite likely) has only had one roll of film put through it, as it has a 3-pack box of B&W Ansco 620 film with two of the rolls still inside it (expiration date Feb. 1965). They started making the Rediflex in 1948 and I'm not sure when they stopped. The expiration date on the film might give a clue to its age, but I'm not sure how long after manufacture Ansco placed their expiration dates. I'd guess that this kit is from the mid-50s: http://www.antiqueauto.org/assets/rediflexKit.jpg -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
