Question for one's that used:

 

I have rollei 6001 with 80mm f/2.8 lens and 17mm Tube...I'm in need of Portrait

lens for my studio work...I want to make close-up portraits and I was thinking

of 150mm f/4 Zeiss lens that could be nice for me with 17mm tube that i have:)

But I today I found very cheap 250 f/5.6 zeiss lens and i Thought maybe to take

it instead of 150mm?? would the 250mm be good for studio close-up portraits ?

Elinchrom Ranger with 2 head's...

Martial Baribault:

But no Elinchrom service is around:( So I think I'll save more money and take new Profoto acute or battery version

But i don't have money for new Acute2 :( I was thinking of taking the no warranty old acute with 2 head and maybe adding to my kit a ringflash for portraits

I need another Flash for my studio, I have Vilensky 850 (it's made in Israel).

So now I'm looking for something good..And now I need to choose from 3

companies: Profoto Compact 600 Plus or Brincolor Minicom 80 or Elinchrom Style

FX 400 (but there is now riper shop for Elinchrom in Israel, If something goes

wrong I'll be in need to send to Russia- Because i'll buy it there)..

Elinchrom is the cheapest for me but I'm afraid to stack with broken flash:(..

And another option is Profoto Acute with to head 3-4 year old with new Cables

and new Flashtubes for only $800 but they are old and no warranty ...

 

I very much want the Acute system,do you think is it safe to buy it?

I'm going for a trip to Prague and was thinking of buy equipment there. Maybe

some one know a good photo shops where i can find Zeiss optics for Rollei!?

 

I know only one shop : www.fotoskoda.cz

 

 

 

IF some one know a good place please write me:)

Fuji T64

Larry Leung: thank you

IF there a lens that focuses very close or I need to take extension tube for 150

or 180 lens. I was looking on Xenar 180mm f/2.8 but if i take it second hand

it's steal 2500 $ that i don't have so I think of getting Sonnar 150mm f/4

second hand for $700 in great condition.. But will one of this lenses late me

shoot a real close-up or it will take a more bellow the shoulder shoot? Do I

need to add in this case extension tube,if YES so the smallest one in order to

make lass distortion ??

 

p.s

 

How good the 180mm f/2.8 Xenar vs. 150mm f/4 Sonnar ???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would the Sonnar or Xenar late me make close portrait as on my example or i need

to add tube??

Skonic L-308S vs. Minolta V

Now is the time to buy a meter. But I don't know which to take:(???

 

I was thinking Sekonic (L-308S or L-358) or maybe Spectra (Professional IV-A

Digital Exposure Meter (P-2000EL-A)... I need something not so big and expansive..

Need something to work with outside and something that will work with my flashes

in studio(I need the light meter in order not to take my 35mm with me all the

time to meter the exposure)..

 

I need the light meter for medium format (Rollei 6001)...

 

** I was thinking of Seconic (L-398A) but it mechanic and I'm more into digital

light meter,the more functional one:):)

 

 

Help me!!!:I have about $350 maybe little bit more....

Why use what??? I need a Backpack for Rollei 6001 with lens and back..+ light

meter and extra free space...I think of Crumpler "pretty boy" or National

Geographic Explorer Medium Backpack...what do you think???I need a small

Backpack for camera and staff....Small for everyday...

Would Crumpler pretty boy backpack fit the rollei 6001 with lens and back + light meter???

I want to buy a small Backpack for medium format (rollei 6001 pro) I need a

place for the camera with lens,palace for meter i need. and a little bit of

extra space.

I was thinking of Lowepro Orian trekker or NG-5162 or Crumpler Karachi or

Crumpler half for camera equipment and half regular backpack. Well I know that

6x6 it's not 35mm and it's big and need a big bag...Please help me find the

right back for medium format (backpack)...

I bought today Rollei 6001 pro with 80mm f/2.8 lens and 6x6 back:):)

Some one else?

Wayne Crider: sorry NOT 50mm lens...IT 80mm LENS

What is better to take. I'll shoot in studio and outside...portrets, snap-shot

and i need for my portfolio projects 6x6 camera.(it is not for my work) It's

only for me and my portfolio....

 

I can take now a second hand Rollei 6006 with 2 battery's (charger) 80mm f/2.8

lens, 120 Back , Polaroid back and Sonnar 250mm f/5.6 lens for $1400...

 

OR to buy Rollei 6001 Pro for the shop..They say-"It's New" with 120 back and

50mm f/2.8 lens for $1700...

 

What to Take???And if there is a really big differers between them?

THank you all and What do you think about Rollei 6006: I can get it very cheap with 2 lenses : Sonnar and the 80mm f/2.8 ...With 2 battery's , Hood's for the lenses and Polaroid and regular backs...What do you think??? Is it worth $1200???

I my self prefer the Rollei because I want a camera with waist level finder and Aperture pref. but maybe I'll say that Hassy fully Manual camera is better than Rollei 6003

I fell in LOVE with MF. I need for one of my projects big frame,so i started

looking for rent MF (6X6 or 645) and some one gave me Bronica the 6x4.5... After

I saw the positives(Fuji Provia) that i shoot, I fell in love with MF.

I had Kiev 60 couple year ago and i hated the mechanics of that camera.

 

I'm thinking to buy MF camera in couple of mouths (somewhere near April, I hope

I'll buy it before).

 

So now I started to look for Camera and lens. I know for sure that I'll take 6X6

and not 645. But know i have a problem:On the one hand I'll love to buy Rollei

6003 pro or 6008 and I'll take it with it's kit lens the 80mm f/2.8 (not the

Schneider-because it very expensive) but on the over hand i thing of something

cheaper maybe Bronica SQ-Ai or Hassy 500C they cost lass and I can afford them

Evan now.

The basic question is Bronica/Hassy VS. Rollei...And if Bronica/Hassy so the

SQ-AI or 500c ???

 

 

Thank you...

Everything is Now OK....I went to the shop and changed the F5 to another F5 that works:)

Michael Christensen: Thank you very much....I use for my work D2h and D200 and for my own I use Hasse Xpan and now i bought F5 ( Ilove Film:)..)

Lee Hamiel: NO

I know IT!but it doesn't work
