I got the opportunity to see Rome in the early 70,s. At the time i had a 20 year old Ansco 35mm camera. I don't remember the model number. It looked ancient even then, lol.It had a large bellows that opened out of the front when you extended the lens for a shot (either 12 or 14 shots per roll). It had been my fathers and he gave it to me when i went into the service. I took it all over Europe for 4 years and was thrilled with it. I bought a very good Pentax shortly after the Rome trip. I think the Ansco is in a box somewhere here but i long ago gave the Pentax to someone who appreciated it more than me. All i have left to remind me of my trip to Rome is a few albums full of old faded prints. So far i have had no success with scanning them to try and save them. The quality is just beyond easy repair i fear. I hope you have better luck with long term storage. I assume digital techniques of today will insure that. I know you must have enjoyed the trip. It is a beautiful city and just chock full of history and life. I am looking forward to seeing your postings of the trip. I am pulling out my old pics so i can see if we were at the same places but at different times, lol.
