royall_berndt Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 If I hadn't cropped this from the original square frame, you'd guess what brand of camera took it. It was a Rolleiflex 3.5F with the Planar lens wide open.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_foreman1 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I think .. if OP posted the complete unadulterated picture the square format would give it away that it was taken wit ha Rolleiflex. By cropping the image the tell-tale square format is lost and what might have been obvious is now a "secret" camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royall_berndt Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 I thought that the original square frame and the look of the image would shout Rolleiflex. Maybe that Planar doesn't have the signature I think it does. Fuji 64T is the film I used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerwb Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 <p>It surely shouts to me but the type of camera isn't what it is saying.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karim Ghantous Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 <p>Well, if you put a bunch of - ahem - naked lights behind the subject and pointed them towards the camera, the way the lens reacts would give us a clue as to the camera used. ;-)</p> <p>Just remember to slip off the lens cap and leave the diaphram wide open. After all, you don't want to miss the shot.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James G. Dainis Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I suppose if we knew that you didn't own a Hasselblad, Mamiya 6 rangefinder, Yashica Mat 124G or any other camera that took a square format besides the Rolleiflex then we would guess that you used the Rolleiflex.

royall_berndt Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Well, the lens is not a Tri Lausar, but it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
