With homage to American Artist Edward Hopper (and thanks to Lynn Borich for modeling a classic dress and her forlorn gaze)

Dès que je passe devant, j'ai mal aux pieds, alors je rentre, et je ne sais plus à quels seins me vouer...!:-))

Rolleiflex Automat Model K4 / 50. She is a little rough around the edges and could use a bit of sprucing up, but everything works and the lenses look excellent. The finder is pretty bright, and is even usable when set as an eye-level finder. What is most surprising is that the camera survived a trip from Annapolis, MD to Fort Dodge, IA via USPS in a 12"x10"x8" box with absolutely no packing materiel at all in the box. No foam, no peanuts, no bubble wrap, no paper, just the camera rolling around in the box like a seed in a gourd. That is quite a testament to Rollei build quality, I think.
I am actually thinking about not doing much restoration on this camera outside of cleaning the lenses and focus screen, because I find it quite beautiful in its tattered condition.
