Show off your TLR!

[shadowfox]

My TLR, serviced and I loaded it up with film for the first time last night

This is shot some months ago:

how the hell do you manage to keep your cameras in such a perfect condition? Do you wear wild-silk gloves when talking photos with them? I take good care of my Rollei but it has little dents etc showing that the camera has been used the last 50 years, and I always use a camera case and... that's not fair!

Here's my 2.8F 12/24 Planar Whiteface Rolleiflex.

Some eastern TLRs. Not trying to compare them with a Rollei but, very much against the general opinion, I like the photos made with them. Probably a matter of luck with the lenses in these models (certainly a very good price/result relationship...).

I have a soft spot for my Lubitel as well. I like the softness and vignetting around the edges, especially when I'm shooting B&W.

 

[shadowfox]

Oh my! is that a magnifying glass you stick on the taking lens?

 

[rolleistef]

it's a tele attachement. i've got one for my T and the quality is not particularly good. Big vignetting, loss of contrast... and focusing down to 3m (9ft)... but the camera looks like a cine camera with them attached...
Nice yashica btw!

And now to something completely different...

this is my first posting in this fantastic forum. I say hello to all members and I hope this strange, heavy (and ugly?) 35mm TLR from 1961 is of any interest for you.

Rolleiflex 2.8E (w/o meter), 2.8D (my favourite), 2.8C, 2.8F (standard GC), 2.8F (late MC but not yet adorned with the cheap White Face plate)

Welcome, that's one weird camera. It's not often to see an OM-2 compared to a TLR

I just bought a light-table. Perfect spot to admire the Rollei!

 

[colincooperphoto]

Summilux thats a nice gathering of 2.8's. Please tell me that you shoot them!

Chris I like the light table shot!

 

[Pherdinand]

five 'flex 2.8's in one house, jesus!!! how am i not suppose to wish i had one of them???

 

[rolleistef]

"tell me when you shoot them" why shoot a Rolleiflex? It's a bit expensive a hobby isn't it?

2.8 C (Xenotar) and 2.8D (Planar)

Rolleiflex 2.8E (w/o meter), 2.8D (my favourite)

Just curious, why is the 2.8D your favorite? what's special about it?

After the damn UK postal strike... anyone for coffee?

my Rollei T taken with its new competitor, a pntax k100D. I'm longing for squarish negs!!

 

[Jerevan]

Chris, I can't help but feel inspired to get out and use the 'Cord when I see your light table shot. The 2.8s are really nice, but they are rare in Sweden and abroad they seem to cost more than I ever want to pay. Unless someone has a nice one to trade for my Hasselblad?

Otherwise, nice photos all round in the thread!

The 2.8D is basic and functional with its sharp 80mm/2.8 Planar lens but without a meter. It is still also my favorite. This model was produced in the year when I was born. It has to be special!

My wife just bought me a new Rolleiflex, bless her heart. It's an unusual version with the lever and knobs on different sides. Hope no one's jealous.......
