OT: Interesting collectors item

2023-05-05 Thread David Mann
My local camera shop has had a Red Flag camera kit come in for sale. Going by 
the number of zeroes in the price they must be quite collectible.

Here's some more info about how these kits came to be:

Thanks Ralf and Ann.
All nice pics and a lot of impressive trees in this gallery.
In particular I like the snowfountain tree (Paul), the corvallis tree
(Larry) and the joshua tree (Ann).

Thanks. I had to google One Tree Hill. My tree is actually behind a small
hill. And yes album covers, those were the days. Maybe that's why I like
square crops.
