Good luck in that he sold me a 55mm lens which I have long coveted but never gotten around to purchase.
I took a picture of James holding his C330 with his wife Barbara and asked him to write a brief bio of his photography history.
"Photography
has been a fascination for me since taking a snap-shot of “Old
Faithful” geyser, at age 9 using a pre-war Kodak folder. As an adult
complete satisfaction was found using Nikon gear. At least until a
couple of gifts arrived. First came a Yashica "A" TLR, followed shortly
by a Davis & Sanford Redi-Tilt tripod. The camera was
frustratingly poor, but the TLR design was pleasant in use and the large
negative, sensational. A knowledgeable friend suggested Mamiya, and
the C330S soon arrived. Again, satisfaction.
The
foray into roll film continued with another gift, a Zeiss Nettar
folder, conveniently portable and capable of wonderful pictures. More
recently, and less limited in that contrast filters are readily
available, a Rolleiflex 2.8E has found a place in the kit. The
adventure continues."
