chris_grainger Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I'm going to be buying a Rolleiflex 2.8E Planar in the next few days. I'd love to see you Rollei owners post some of your favorite pictures that you've taken WITH your Rollei. Just let us know the model and maybe the film? Thanks!

robert_marvin Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I do about 3/4 of my work with a 2.8E (Xenotar).Here are a few samples. The first 4 were scanned from prints on an old scanner that wasn't so great. Eventually I'll get around to scanning the negatives so that they look as sharp as the later scans. These were shot on either Ilford HP5 or FP4, all developed in D23. http://brooklyncameraclub.org/v-web/gallery/albums/album10/aaa.jpg http://brooklyncameraclub.org/v-web/gallery/albums/album10/aab.jpg http://brooklyncameraclub.org/v-web/gallery/albums/album10/aak.jpg http://brooklyncameraclub.org/v-web/gallery/albums/album10/aam.jpg http://brooklyncameraclub.org/v-web/gallery/albums/album10/RMarvin001.jpg http://brooklyncameraclub.org/v-web/gallery/albums/Photographs-from-Intimate%2C-Ft-Greene-Photography-Org-Exhibition-Fundraiser%2C-May-7%2C-2005/Bottle_Wall_lo_res.jpg http://brooklyncameraclub.org/v-web/gallery/albums/Photographs-from-Intimate%2C-Ft-Greene-Photography-Org-Exhibition-Fundraiser%2C-May-7%2C-2005/Faded_Glory_lo_res.jpg http://brooklyncameraclub.org/v-web/gallery/albums/Green-Wood-Cemetery/Greenwood_image_7.jpg http://brooklyncameraclub.org/v-web/gallery/albums/BCC-Texture-Assignment6-05/Texture_DUMBO1.jpg http://brooklyncameraclub.org/v-web/gallery/albums/BCC-Texture-Assignment6-05/Texture_Carved_Tree_Prospect_Pk.sized.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_hutcherson Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I've always rather liked this shot Taken with a Rolleicord Va with a 3.5 Xenar. The film was some outdated Provia 100F which I purchased a rather large lot of.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_hutcherson Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 This one taken on an Automat 3 with a 3.5 Xenar on the same batch of outdated Provia 100F. By the way, the above shot was taken with a 16 exposure kit on the Rolleicord, hence the rectangular frame.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Films were (if I remember right) Acros for the first, and TXP for the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christopherschwer Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Thanks Rich, I had a look at your Flickr postings and I will return the praise. Just beautiful. I have carried a Rollei TLR for as long as I can remember. I have lost count as to how many I have had in my life. it seems to me that nothing give better photographic quality in such a small package. Using the Panorama head changed the way I approached photography as a whole. Being able to relate all the things you see and feel as you are just standing and looking was really a gift. Having a way to expand the square without leaving that shape behind has opened so many new ways to look at the world around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ari_kermaier Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Brian, did you shoot Sandia Mountains and Owen & Cholla with filters, or did you do the sky and contrast work in the darkroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ari_kermaier Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Christopher, do you recommend using a Rollei panorama head, rather than using a Rolleifix to mount the camera to a convential panoramic tripod/head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopherschwer Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hello Ari, I much prefer using the newer version of the rollei panorama head with the rolleifix. It is really important to have the camera perfectly leveled and the rollei panorama head levels on the same plane as the rotation point. The rollei panorama head is divided perfectly for use with the 80mm lens. If you are using a TLR with the 75mm lens you will have a little more overlap. I also use a Bogen VR head with the Tele-Rollei camera. This also works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ari_kermaier Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks, Christopher. I just purchased a 3.5E with 75mm Planar lens, and your triptych intrigued me! Maybe the older version of the Rollei panorama head is spaced for the 75mm lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopherschwer Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Ari, Both old and new versions of the panorama head are spaced the same. The new version allows you to pan in both directions. The older version does not. The newer version is far better in actual use. Give it a try! A Rollei graduted yellow filter is also very handy to have for distant views in panorama.
