PLAYING

I just thought I'd play around with this blog stuff again and try and post some music. The camera stuff is getting tiresome, although I did acquire an Edixa 16 MB recently.

You can "Google" this camera and find lots more information than I can provide, however Martin Tai's posting is quite interesting here as well as the submin.org entry here. As M. Tai suggests, this camera is somewhat underrated. In fact, I was the only bidder on eBay!!!! It was designed by Heinze Waaske in the 1960s. It never received the acclaim that some of his other camera inventions got such as the Rollei 35, 16 and 110 cameras. But looking at the camera, it is every bit as solid and well designed as the more famous small Rolleis. The MB, made in 1965, was the only Edixa 16 in black, so that makes it a bit more rare and desirable in my estimation. The Rollei 16 is very similar to the Edixa 16 but because the light meter is incorporated into the camera and not detachable as it is in the Edixa the Rollei is a little bigger. Even though the Rollei 16 is more common it usually sells for at least twice the price of the Edixa. My guess is that the Rollei has the prestigious brand recognition even though they were both designed by Mr. Waaske and made in Germany. As a matter of fact the 16MB is going to fill in for the Rollei 16 on it's shelf space for a while in the near future!
