Karim Ghantous Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 <p>A good example of '50s-'60s design overlap. I have to say, whoever designs a camera with the viewfinder in the middle is a complete dropkick. Reflex viewfinders need to be in the middle. But offset viewfinders should be put on the corner of the body.</p> <p>The accessory shoe, however, likes either location. If it's in the middle, heavy flash units cause less imbalance; if it's to the side, accessory finders are easier to use.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 <p>Thanks, <strong>Robert</strong>, and <strong>Andrew</strong>, and <strong>Cory</strong>, I keep eyeing my Contaflexes in a guilty sort of way; it's been some time since I used one. I also have a nice Contina with the f/3.5 Novar lens, and I'm tempted to try it for the sake of comparison. Interesting points you raise, <strong>Karim</strong>; certainly food for thought. Yes, <strong>JDM,</strong> they're both pretty..."Beauty lies... " and all that stuff.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg M Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 <p>Cool camera Rick, and some great images. The finish reminds me of the grey Baby Rollei. Had one for a short time with the plastic grey two-part case that held it, as well as a couple of bricks of Kodak Gold in the 127 format the camera shot.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy_cooprider1 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 <p>Rick is the Moa on rollers? Does it get moved around? Here in the the grayed midwest that sunshine looks wonderful. The horses in the field seem to be enjoying it. Great post.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 <p>Thanks<strong> Greg</strong>, you'll be aware that 127 film is available again in B&W and colour, limited choice but better than nothing. <strong>Rand</strong>y, the moa is securely bolted down; they've just re-installed it after re-modelling the little plaza where it's displayed. A little too much sunshine and not enough rain down here; we're on the verge of a drought. When it comes to weather, we're never happy...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 <p>Where would we all be if we didn't have the weather to complain about! Lovely example and even better shooting. I love that you have the whole color matching kit. Good for Marc to clinch the marketing. I have the Rolleiiflex T; a similar ploy in direction.. not nearly as pleasing to the eye. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 <p>Thanks, <strong>Chuck</strong>! Mind you, I wouldn't <em>mind</em> having the Rolleiflex T...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
