  1. <p>I'm well aware of the A/C effect, but I keep it low most of the time.<br> I forgot to mention that I will bring some of my digital stuff as well, a couple of Fujifilm X cameras being some of them. The Fujifilm x100 being the choice for a day on the road and the Rolleiflex for the 'special occasion'.<br> Anyways, I made the right decision and ordered some film! 5x Portra 400, 5x Ektar 100 and 5x HP5+ 400. Classic choice - can't go wrong.<br> I'll be back in April and I promise I'll post some Rolleiflex goodness.<br> Thanks a bunch!</p>
  2. <p>Howdy!<br> Next week I'm off to Indonesia. I'll be spending the next 6 months on a tiny Island North of Lombok - a place I have been many, many times before. Each year I take loads of pictures - most of which are somewhat the same as the year before. Not necessarily in a bad way, but anyway.<br> So, I got myself a Rolliflex 3,5 this summer, my first film camera actually. I've shot 4 rolls so far and the results has been amazing.<br />It's generally a bad idea I suppose but it could be so worth it, the light down there is just incredible. <br> This format is a completely different way of seeing the world - and my island! Now, should despite the risk of exposing such a beautiful camera to extreme humidity and heat still be something to consider?<br> These are the last days to order some film in that case. I wasn't supposed to go in here and ask, but I gotta decide but can't.<br> I got a few Rolleinars, hood, trigger and general camera equipment to work it with too.</p> <p>Thank's a bunch folks!</p>
  3. <p>I exercised the same principal by focusing the bulb in my lamp with a lens on to the stacked glass in my hand. It didn't make any significant difference except that the corner got a little distorted but also a little brighter.<br> I got my ground glass out and cleaned anyway. :)</p> <p>Thanks guys!</p>
  4. <p>I got the whole thing dissembled and I couldn't fit both of the glasses in there when I tried to assemble it again. I could use only the fresnel when only using larger apertures but I probably wouldn't because I would need it for low light.<br> I'm a milimeter short of fitting both of them in there!</p>
  5. <p>Howdy photogs!<br> First time poster - long time reader. Couldn't find anything on this matter but I figured I knew where to ask. I'm currently getting used to my Rolleiflex 3.5 mx-evs and yes, the ground-glass is a little dim at low light conditions. I've got a fresnel ground glass which is much brighter (I tried it) but a nightmare to focus with.<br> Would stacking the two make it both brighter and easier to focus you think? I could try but I don't want break either of the two. Better safe than sorry!</p> <p>Thanks a bunch!</p>
