 Found this on e-bay for 4 bucks! Once it's received a good CLA, I'll post another photo ;D Doug |

Seeing the name Rochester always makes me think of the Jack Benny show and his wonderful valet, Rochester, played by Eddie Anderson.
Misspent youth, or what? (Me, that is.)

Hi Dave! I seem to remember that Jack Benny, when asked, would say that he was 39 years old. I also believe that he did this for at least 30 years. I saw the camera in a book once (Glass,Brass, and Chrome), and have been looking for one for several years. I am happy to have finally gotten one  Doug |

Doug,
It certainly looks state of the art, but maybe not state of science, if you see what I mean. Is it a single meniscus lens? (I could look it up but......)
Dave.

Hi Doug ! I like the shape of this early plastic fantastic ! Found one by chance a year ago at the same price here. On ebay Germany these model would sell for 30-50.- USD, because very few made it over the pond. Great find ! MIK  |
