I know the feel of a good Rollieiflex. I had a 3.5 F with a Carl Zeiss Planar lens. A very good camera. I shot some of my best photographs with this. A customer of mine had an enlargemnet made from a slide - 3x3 meters! It was a musical poster (Cabaret) sitting on a building. 3x3 meters and still very sharp. Unfortunately I later sold the camera to help finance a trip to South Africa to visit my daughter who was studying at UPE in Port Elisabeth.

They are the epitome of quality mechanical cameras for me. Yes! :-) I started out with a 1935 Rollei TLR, and it still is to me one of best of camera design and feel... And what's best it still works! Although it has been just sitting in a library among photography books quite some time, I still take it out every few months (without film, sadly) to exercise the shutter and mechanics so they don't fail... Good light! fra
