Recent Acquisition.

[RCap]

<p>Some Ektar 100 shots from a recently acquired Rolleiflex 2.8 E2 with Zeiss Planar.<br>

I am very pleased with the camera, it has a maxwell focus screen which seems to help me get focus quicker.<br>

<p>Kent, the 2.8 E2 is from 1959 - 60.</p>

<p>Wonderful M/F quality, Raymond and what a beautiful Rolleiflex...certainly the cream of the crop. The rendition of highlight and shadow in the restaurant pic is awesome. Thanks for posting.</p>

<p>I am envious, I have coveted a Rolleiflex, but could and can not afford one.<br>

Beautiful photos Raymond.</p>

<p>Camera does have a very high "cool" factor. Shots are nice too.<br>

<p>Very nice. I have some recently acquired MFs that I want to exercise, if our lousy Seattle weather would cooperate.</p>

<p>Very nice photos Ray. The parked boats agains the cloudy skies look great. Neat camera.</p>

<p>Nice photos Ray!</p>

<p>I have a Rolleiflex 2.8C from 1954. Right now it's at Harry Fleenor's repair shop getting a CLA and a Maxwell screen. These are fine cameras. Harry is running about 10 weeks turn-around so I should have mine back by mid-December. Well worth the wait!</p>

<p>Nice camera. The Planar models are the Queens of the Classic Manual Cameras.<br>

I'd be ordering some Tri-X 120 right now if that were mine.</p>

<p>When I shot weddings with MF (Mamiya 645) I noticed that the Maxwell screens were the best. The Beattie screens were bright, but more difficult to focus.</p>

[Mike Gammill]

<p>Very good. Thanks for posting. I wonder if a Maxwell screen is available to fit my Rolleicord III? Or even my Yashicamat D? I sometime have a little trouble focusing. Also, the magnifier for my Rolleicord doesn't show the screen sharply unless I hold it several inches away from the eye. No such problem with my Yashicamat D and Yashica 44A.</p>

<p>Thanks all, this Rolleiflex is a pleasure to shoot with.<br>

@Anthony, I purchased the Rolleiflex from Krikor Maralian. And boy is it smooth. I am very happy with the Maxwell screen.<br>

@Steve, the Tri-X is already on hand. I wish I could find some more Tri-X 320, I am down to a couple of rolls.<br>

@Mike, I believe the Maxwell screen will fit your Rolleicord.</p>

<p>Nice. It's hard not to appreciate that large-negative depth, especially when the pictures show it off to good advantage.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
