Re: The ultimate 617 or 612 handheld camera:

Mr Gilde told me some weeks ago in Berlin, that it cost about 15.000.- DM
and that you have to order it soon, if you want to have one in the next
year. You can change to every format and it's very heavy to handle. (you
must be a bodybuilder or so ...)
All parts are handmade!

Go to ........

http://www.gilde-kamera.de/

.........to see the most amazing 617 or 612 cameras you have ever seen:

made in Germany to Linhof precision. Made by Kurt Gilde. Linhof was very
impressed by this guy's work and allowed him to show his cameras at their
stand during a Photokina some years back.

it seems that these cameras, with all their features, cost about the same as
a
Linhof or Fuji interch. lens system camera. With the strong dollar, it may
be
a very good time to buy one.

Thought to share this with you.

I am not a dealer, nor a rep., but I have many Gilde brochures at home. Send
me a business envelope SASE, and I'll send it to you.
