KLECHAK Posted July 23, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just was out and about and picked up a Leica No 404944 and a Rolleiflex T. My questions are, should I keep either? (I am a landscape guy) Also, would it be beneficial if I were to sell these, to get them freshened up before I sell either? I figure I would spend about $100 each to get them looking nice and adjusted or should I just let someone else do it. The are nice and work but just dirty and the leatherette on the Leica is so so. But completely functional. I just don't want to ruin them, thats why I would take them in. Thank you in advance Colin :) Welcome, dear visitor!

Nick_S Posted July 23, 2014 Share #2 Posted July 23, 2014 You could keep the Leica as a nice travel camera. As your interests are landscape oriented you might consider adding one of the Voigtlander Skopar lenses which are available in the Leica Thread Mount in both 21 and 25mm focal lengths. The small metal external 21/25mm viewfinder covers both focal lengths and is it available in chrome finish, like the lenses, so it matches the camera well.

Fotoklaus Posted July 23, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2014 I would also keep the T. It´s just such a classic camera as a Leica is. This was done with a Rolleiflex T: Welcome, dear visitor!

250swb Posted July 25, 2014 Share #5 Posted July 25, 2014 Wouldn't running a film through each camera help you decide to keep them or not, only you can say if they suit you? Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaques Posted July 28, 2014 Share #6 Posted July 28, 2014 The Rolleiflex T is a great camera. If I was you I would keep it- I have sold hundreds of vintage cameras but kept two Rollieflexes. They are too good to sell. They are absolute classics and take superb photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
