The house is on fire and you can only grab one thing on your way out. What would it be? Nigel Benson grills a local on her favourite thing.
Why? Because it holds the promise of endless possibilities.
How did you get it? Given to me by my fiancé; he bought it on a Trade Me auction from a chap in Invercargill.
What is it made of? Resilient metals, precision glass lenses and housed in an original leather case.
How old is it? It was born in the 1950s.
Where do you keep it? In a silly plastic bag in my darkroom.
What's it worth? No idea, really.
Is it insured? Not for the memories.
Could you get another one? Yes, they're out there.
Does it have a name? Rollei.
