ROCK, Keith Graeme, is the owner/director.

Rocky Cameras no longer lists on Ebay. I think you can guess why

I received this reply to an enquiry back at the end of May:
Dear Sir,I am sorry as per the front cover I have an illness in fact Cancer and will be having an operation on the 29th May with 3 weeks hospital stay afterwards and a further 4-5 weeks rest required afterwards so with apologies I will be unable to accept any further orders until the 1st August,
You can browse my website still and I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Once the website opens again for sales there will be many nice new items added including some very nice rare Kodak cameras, Leica lenses and Rolleiflex Planar cameras so please check back
Rocky
I suppose I could contact him again.

His website is looking fairly un-updated at the moment; so it might be worth waiting until it shows signs of life.

The word 'dodgy' rather than 'Rocky' comes to mind. If he is so reticent in sending refunds for faulty or otherwise unsatisfactory goods, I would either do without or go elsewhere.

Just checking the Kickstarter link for the camera, it says that delivery around August 2018.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...gue-slr-camera

So, based on other projects over running by some time being the usual case, it may still be a going concern unless anyone knows otherwise?

I was with Ian at a Camera Fair that Rocky usually attends and we were both told that he
was extremely ill.
