Post a picture of your most treasured item
This is my mid-1950s German Rolleicord. It might be worth some money, but obviously that would be a silly reason for it to be my most treasured item. It means a lot to me because it belonged to my Grandpa. He bought it in the '50s and I inherited it several years ago, after his death. I'm still figuring out how to use it and all its little tricks, but it's really fun to play with and it does still work perfectly! It's in great condition. My Grandpa took good care of everything he owned. I can still find the large format film for this camera in a couple places and I love going out to take pictures with it, not only because it makes me feel like a super-cool photographer but I also like using something that my Grandpa used years ago to take really cool pictures and I can only hope to reach his level someday and if nothing else, maybe remember him again every time I take this out and use it.
