I'm always humbled when I come to see what's posted in this thread - and here are two images neither of them are mine, but let me explain.

The Rolleiflex image is from ebay, it's what I ended up buying recently. I'm hoping to receive it this afternoon. It's been many years since I had one in my hands and I'm looking forward to having this camera again. But I was pretty much determined to stay with 35mm once I got my M3, it seemed the best direction for me. That us, until I saw this second image of Italy. I don't remember who's it is, I found it on this forum in the past couple of weeks and downloaded it - if you recognize it please remind me who !  Not only do I want to thank you again for such a great image but it's ALL YOUR DARN FAULT that I bought my Rolleiflex. After seeing your 6x6 image I was sunk, your Portra image said without words "why 6x6".

Congrats on your Rollei. I lent mine to my brother-in-law in the late 1980s and haven't seen it since. Makes me want to reclaim it....

Congrats! There is something unique in the way the Rolleiflex renders. Entirely different than a Hasselblad (just as sharp, in a different way. Not better or worse...). Somehow more..."atmospheric".

Ugh please stop Mr Prime and Hank and Wayne...now you have me searching for Rolleicords and Rolleiflexes :D Truth be told I've always wanted one but find all the models really bewildering. I think the Baby models look cute though :)

Terrific Rog, you certainly could have fooled me. What a find to come across this scene.

Well it was worth the 90 minutes :) Lovely photo. You can wet mount on flat beds too, I believe. It can help with the dust a bit, though in my experience from wet mounting on a special tray in my Coolscan 9000 it doesn't help that much with dust (if I turn off digital ICE that is).

I like this idea of shooting black and white during blue hour. It has a distinct light that renders beautifully in monochrome.

In my case it was easy to choose since I was replacing one I used to have, so I just went in search of the same model and lens type, seeking something that looked clean from photos and description. If I were buying for the first time then budget may limit my choice more than it did this time but I don’t think that you can go wrong with any of the different models if it’s in good shape.

 

I also tend to feel more comfortable buying from Japan, my last one was bought locally and there was definitely some bait and switch going on regarding the cleanliness of the focus screen.

Don’t get me looking for one of the baby models !

Ugh! I made an error in providing the details of my camera. The lens is a 75/4.5 Triotar..........Not a Tessar. Thanks for the compliment. The old Rolleicord fits nicely in a winter coat pocket, and with Rolleikin, gives 36 35mm frames. It is a blast. I love the Triotar triplet.

Congrats to your Rolleiflex, for sure you will love it! I am happy that you like my photo from Palermo. The Portra400 is really such an amazing film, it is my film number 1

What a beautiful and esthetic photo. Lights, shadows, perfect. I have never heard from a Cambo TLR. Which camera is it?
