geoffrey goldberg Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 The makers of Rollei have now announced a newsletter, available on line at: http://www.franke-heidecke.net/files/quadr1-engl.pdf While focused on film cameras, still its signs of life.

lauren_macintosh Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Well It goes to prove film is not DEAD yet! if a major camera company is willing to gamble and I use that word loosely, since they probably did their home work and felt it had a market for that camera! WOW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 If film dies completely so will many MF Winter photos. Most of these MF backs don't work well in temps below 32F ... and in 15F or less not at all. Read the specs if you doubt me. I had one totally fail while on a Winter assignment ... it was 20F outside. It wasn't the battery either. I had mine inside my coat on a tether.

john_gleason1 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 That's a pretty interesting TLR. Just for the sake of pondering, how expensive is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham_mitchell Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Marc, that's just not true. My Sinar eMotion22 worked perfectly in -15'C (5'F). I have heard similar success stories about much lower temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffrey goldberg Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 the tele and wide TLR have been around for a while. With a small factory, production runs can be small, and you can do niche products like this. Its good to see the electronic (web) side of F&H come up to snuff - they ve been a bit off the radar screen on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Goose Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I would buy one... if I had the money, knowing Rollei's reputation you can be sure it won't be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan_collins1 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 What an amazing link. I have to say those images have been a bit of an epiphany;a reminder of the way I see photographically. Soppy nonsense probably,but a real eye opener anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
