  1. Thanks SCL, AJG and orsetto for your additional contributions. Choices, choices...! :-) As far as I am concerned, going back to the Hasselblad 6x6 system is not an option. Too unwieldy. I'd rather tinker with a high quality, slo-pho alternative to the ubiquitous cell phone/P&S shooting. Certainly, a TLR is not exactly pocketable, LOL, but I like the idea of a neat and restricted package, with only the most basic of parameters to select from (aperture and shutter speed). For me, it promises a welcome challenge, entirely focusing on composition/decisive moment. And a 75/80mm field of view is what I feel very comfortable with.
  2. Hey Niels, that's excellent advice! Thank you, too for your insightful answers. Much appreciated! :-)
  3. Wow, Orsetto! I love the depth of your advice. That certainly gives me plenty to chew on...! :-)
  4. Thank you both for your precious input! I really appreciate the technical details and the memories connected to this type of camera. IMHO cameras are as much about their optical as their handling qualities, i.e. ergonomics. Some just *feel* right. So did the Leica M6 for me and previously the Olympus OM1.

    Thank you! I thought I owed you a reply - after 10 years. Sorry, but I have been off the forum for decades... :-)
  6. Hi, having tried almost any kind of analogue camera in the past (but never any TLR) I would like to try a Rolleiflex. Could you give me an introduction? Or point me to a comprehensive source? As far as I have understood so far, there are just slight but maybe decisive differences between models, for instance 3.5 vs. 2.8 aperture lenses (Tessar vs. Planar?), EV-lock setting (or not), sports VF (or not)... What to look out for when trying to find a sample? And what would be a reasonable price range for a optically and mechanically sound model? Thanks for your input in advance! Lutz
  7. <p>Hi, please check out my actual listings on the 'bay:<br> http://www.ebay.com/sch/hamstermann/m.html?item=201799488232&hash=item2efc2fd2e8%3Ag%3AI6EAAOSwnHZYjjn0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562<br> There's some very fine glass (21, 28, 50 macro, 90 macro...) and a lot more.<br> Thanks for looking!</p>
