I have a Rolleiflex T with 3.5/75mm Tessar. I love it and am

considering buying a Rolleiflex TLR Tele. I would use the Tele

almost exclusively for portraits. I would probably also want to use

the corresponding Rolleinars, assuming there are any. Anyone have

any experience with the Rolleiflex Tele, with or without Rolleinars?

Care to share that experience? What's a fair price for a good

condition Tele?

I like the size, weight, and absence of mirror (and mirror slap) in

the twin-lens design. But am I better off just investing in a medium

format SLR that accepts interchangeable lenses? Interchangeable

backs would be nice but is not essential for my work.

Thanks for your input.

I am looking to buy a Rolleiflex 2.8 TLR. Either Planar or Xenotar

would be acceptable. Which bodies--C, D, E, F-- have the following

features:

1. Mirror prism just below the sports finder to check focusing

2. EV interlock, like on the Rolleiflex T, so shutter speeds and

apertures can be changed together to maintain a particular EV

3. accepts 120 and 220 film

4. removable WL finder, accepts prism viewfinder

5. self timer

Metering is immaterial because I use a handheld meter. Thanks for

your help.

I am interested in using the various professional Polaroid films. I

can't seem to find accurate information regarding cameras--not just

camera backs--designed for these films. I've occasionally run across

references to cameras with interchangeable lenses that use Polaroid

films. Any information or suggestions? Much obliged.
