Pa-cha

Dear photographers,

 

I own a Rollei 6008 Integral 2, and I'd want to fix a digital back onit. What digital backs fits with my camera ?

Thanks for patience.

<p>Hi Benny...<br>

I'm not a Japanese, and I'm not a collector...but I'm found of Rolleiflex TLRs. Why ? Because these cameras have all I need to take some nice pictures. I own a Rolleiflex T (type 2) and the Tessar lens is fantastic ! Very sharped, really ! The camera is not bulky, and it's a real pleasure to do a photographic walk with it. I bought mine in second hand for 950$ and I'm very happy with it.<br>

And more... Each time I'm doing some pictures in the street, a lot of people ask me :" what'is this ?"" is it a new camera ?"" is it a digital camera ?" "You have a nice camera",and so on...So, with a Rolleiflex, you don't practice photography in the same way that with a digital DSLR....No. Definitively no ! First, it's not agressive, you don't SHOT at the others, your head is bowed to look at the focusing screen. Second, as a photographer, you're OK with all the persons in a street and you explain how you "take" a picture. People are so curious ! And today, a Rolleiflex is not an UFO but an UPO !<br>

And no batteries, no card, no heavy lenses...Just this dead cert : when you need it, your Rolleiflex TLR is always ready !</p>

Yes, it's exactly the one I baught. Great choice for a great use. With a such a plate, not be able to focus a long time with the lens. It's quite easy to use micrometric mechanism !</p>

<p>I agree with Eric. When I want to shot with my Rollei 120 macro and an extension tube, I always use a long micrometric plate. It's easier to move the camera and the lens than try to focus with the focus ring. I 've baught, several years ago, a Manfrotto plate to do macrophoto shots. Easy to use, and great results ! (sorry for my bad english)</p>

 

<p>Dear photographers,</p>

<p>I've the opportunity to buy a Tele Tessar 350mm PQ, but before I just want to have opinions and tips. So if you own one, please, say me what you think about (pictures welcome !!!)<br>

Thanks for patience,<br>

Regards, Pascal.</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

Thanks for all these kind replies. I've just received mine today from KEH for 33$, in its box, LN.<br>

Now, I must understand how to use the F1 with the servo EE attached on. I'm very surprised because I can't see the exposition scale on the right...How can I know if the exposure is right ?<br>

Thanks for your tips. I wish you a great year for 2012.<br>

<p>Oh, thanks Jim ! I hope to find one now. Do you sell this one ? :-)</p>

<p>Thanks all of you for all your tips and kind answers. Now, I must find one...:-)</p>

<p>Thanks Jim for your kind answer. Do you know if a connecting cord MF looks like this ?</p><div></div>

<p>Hi,<br>

I've just baught a Servo EE on ebay, and I don't know how connect it with the motor drive MF. If a cable is necessary, what is it ?<br>

Thanks for patience.<br>

<p>Dear photographers,</p>

<p>I own a 6003 Pro camera and I want to move to digital photography. What digital backs fit on my camera ? Is the Sinar Emotion 75 LV a good choice today, for instance ?<br>

PS : If someone have some shots taken with a Rollei 6008/3 and a digital back, it should be great to post them as an example. I beg your pardon for my bad english. Pascal.<br>

<p>Dear Steve,<br>

If you sell these items, I'm interested in 2 of them : <strong>the speedlite 133d and the rings for 50mm and 35mm and the waist level finder old F1. </strong><br>

My email address is : <a href="mailto:odilepc@aol.com">odilepc@aol.com</a>. If you don't want to ship in France, I have a good friend in Mesa, (AZ). You may ship to him...<br>

Thanks a lot. Pascal.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I've just purchased a 1DS MK III body. All my accessories fit well on it except my angle finder B. Is it possible to find an adapter ?<br>

Thanks for your tips and answers.<br>

Pascal.</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

Thx for all your kind answers.<br>

Laurent, grand merci pour ces indications et le lien pour les archives de Schneider et Kreuznach. Mais celui que je regarde est une version PQ. J'avoue qu'en français, c'est tout de même plus simple... Pascal.</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

And for a 6003 pro ? Is it possible to use these digital backs ? Thx for your answer(s).</p>

Hello,

What do you think about the replacement of the genuine Rollei batteries (Ncd) by NiMH cells ? I use a 6003 pro and the charger is the N model. Is it dangerous for the camera ? Thanks for your answer. Pascal.

<p>Graham,<br>

You're right ! I can't afford a large format camera as a Linhof or a Sinar. As I own a lot of pieces in the medium format Rollei system, I think this lens should serve me as a large camera. Is it true or wrong, I don't know. That's why I put my question on the forum.<br>

Thanks for your kind answer .</p>

<p>Dear photographers,</p>

<p>Is the Rollei 55mm PCS Super Angulon a good lens for landscape ? How sharp it is ? what's difference between the PQ and non PQ version ?<br>

Please, help me. I need some tips before I buy one. Thanks for patience. Pascal.</p>

<p>Hi anybody,<br>

I'm going to buy a Rollei 55 mm PCS Angulon and I just want to know what lens hood fits with this lens. If somebody uses one, it should be great for me to have a critique about it. Thanks for patience. Regards, Pascal.</p>

Not sure it's strong enough ! Focus ring is so hard to turn...

<p>Joe and Ed,<br>

Thanks for your kind posts.<br>

Joe, may I have the address ( or a mail address) of this Canon center in New Jersey ? It should be great for me to have my lens repaired quickly !<br>

Thanks a lot,<br>

Pascal.</p>

 

<p>Hi,<br />My 100-400 L IS is fallen yesterday. It was on the table in its Lovepro hard pouch when it's happened. I can use it again in auto focus mode, but not in manual because the ring is locked : its impossible to turn it. I want to know if somebody knows how to repair it or if it is expensive to send it to Canon to make repairs<br />Thanks for reading. Pascal.</p>

<p>Thank you Curtis. I've done it and all fits perfectly.</p>
