Me too! A Stroboflash II with a 7.5 pound battery pack was a
multi-purpose tool back in those days. Held by the strap and swung in a
circle, that battery pack could flatten an elephant. I was using a
Rollei and a Nikon in press service with UPI Newspictures back in those
days. $64.50 a week and all the film I could eat. Ah, those were the
good old days! ... (NOT)

I don't do much to my images. I prefer to compose with the camera, and
take the photos my eyes see. I learned film photography in the early
1960s, with a Nikon F, a Stroboflash, and Tri-X. Use it or lose it.

Besides, my old Leica is light, smooth and very quiet.
