What pretty cameras were there?

... wrote: Just out of curiosity, what cameras were made that you would describe as pretty? Why would a sad, middle aged man like Mike Henley want to own a "pretty" camera? Does Mike Henley think that a "pretty" camera might help a sad, middle aged man like him entice young girls back to his home? Just out of curiosity. Sounds like it's worth a shot... ;-) -- Regards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com |

What pretty cameras were there?
At the local camera collector's sale every year I look adoringly at the
20s/30s vintage Kodak box folders with the beautiful red bellows. Then there's the new Ebody 4x5 & 8x10 bodies with nickel hardware. They're really pretty. (And priced like it.) The Nikon F4 had some nice lines, as did the Pentax LX. Smooth, well-engineered, but not harsh. Yet still neither was too outstanding. Leica, it's ok. Lots of tradition in the design, but nothing really outstanding today. Few items today have nice cosmetics, nothing like a piece of B&O audio eqipment. Elegance is gone. It's all just so much techno-stuff. (Though I was tempted at one time by an anniversary 'Blad with red leather.) Collin |

Rolleiflex E/F cameras without the light meter look really beautiful, IMO. Surely the prettiest Rolleiflex of all was the 4x4cm "Baby Rolleiflex" made in grey in the late 1950s/early 1960s: Oh yes, those are incredibly cute. |

Gaudy is right. Personally ...
I'd rather have one of those gold-plated Schneider large format lenses. Collin |

And there's Cesar (on PDML).
He gets snake skin put onto each of his LX bodies. Pretty to some. Collin |
