Rollei contintued

So...I called the repair man, he said I can come get my camera on Thursday, weather permitting. I can't wait! He said that the Shutter was definately stuck, and that he fixed it. He is going to spend tomorrow looking over it's other parts, to see if anything else needs fixing. My husband is getting a white german shepherd puppy in a few more weeks; on the 28th we get to see them, and possibly pick which one we want, and around the 15th we will get to take him home. Welp, I will update you on thursday...

Rolleiflex MX-EVS Type 2

This weekend I purchases my first ever Rollei. I have wanted one since I was a little girl, when the movie "Where the Heart is" came out. The beauty of her yard sale find intrigued me. I have no experience in Medium Format; most of my life I have been digital. My first camera was an old Petri 35mm, which I absolutely loved, if i could have slept next to it, I would have.
Sadly, on a sailing trip my Petri was thrown around inside the deck, and busted it up. From then on my cameras were digital, until 2006 I was given an old Nikon slr by my Grandmother. She found it in her closet. During that year I had my own dark room, and preffered black and white. I have always preffered black and white! Ansel Adams has been my hero since i was young. I have a hard time when I am editing to leave the photographs color. Anyways, I found a craigslist treasure last saturday. Rolleiflex's go anywhere from $500-$3000 on Ebay. I found mine for $100! The shutter sticks, so as soon as I bought it I took it to a Camera repair shop. I barely got to hold it before I handed it off to the repair guy. I can't wait to get it back, he said around 7-10 days. I am so happy because one of my child hood dreams have come true, and I will write a post on here when I go up to get it. Look forward to my first shots from this amazing camera!
