Camera Crush
Motivated by my own post and the art of Christine Berrie, I decided to see if I could hunt down one of these Color-flex cameras. It did not take me long, a quick search of eBay and one turned up, as a "buy it now" for $50. After receiving it last week, I was immediately entranced by it's enameled beauty. A little further research and I discovered I was pretty lucky. These are very rare and one in good condition like mine can go for as much as $200. Still having the original strap, instruction book and case {which I love almost as much as the camera} also adds to the value.

Oh, Lara. I love your new camera and the matching bag. I'd love to see the kind of pictures it produces!
Dang, now I need to find that vintage camera for my collection! Sure wish I could modify a digital back for my old 620 and other vintage cameras...
I own a semi-rare East German RFDR 35 (the brand escapes me) that actually works well, having an an all-class lens and adjustable apertures and shutter speeds.
That is a sweet camera.
I came across one here in my area for $200, non working condition! You got a deal!
