#ROLLEIFLEX 2.8 ZEISS TESSAR PROFESSIONAL#

The negative size produced is the very common (for the time) 6Г—6 size. Most Rollei WLFвЂ™s also have a pop up magnifier which makes achieving accurate focus very simple and the WLFвЂ™s on some of the RolleiflexвЂ™s are removable allowing for a Prism finder to be attached for sports or documentary photography where you will be on the move and canвЂ™t be distracted by the reversed image. Some models have additional split screen focussing aides. The ground glass is bright and easy to focus with. You can read about Parallax error Here.Д¬omposing on the WLF is easy and allows the photographer to concentrate more on framing and balance as the image is reversed. It allows comfortable, ergonomic viewfinding which covers 100% of what will end up on film. The WLF of a Rolleiflex is a magical composing device. The Rolleiflex makes use of a Waist Level Finder (WLF) as opposed to traditonal viewfinders which are very dark, small and inaccurate by comparison. Many offshoots came from the original Rolleiflex design with companies all over the world creating their versions. The Rolleiflex is widely known as the вЂњTHEвЂќ camera that set the standard in TLR design. While Twin lens reflex cameras had existed before, they were far too bulky and unreliable. The rolleiflex was the trend setter of the Twin Lens world.

Several models have been introduced covering more professional needs and more amateur, down to the Rolleicord of which you can read my review here. They also released 2.8 models in the 1940вЂ™s. When I refer to a 3.5 model I am referring to the aperture of the taking lens.

The Rolleiflex began itвЂ™s humble origins in 1928 with the first of the 3.5 models.

A 3.5 model which comes with either Carl Zeiss Tessar or Scheider Xenar lens. My brother and I have a few RolleiflexвЂ™s and we love them. The time has come that I finally write a review of our all time favourite camera.
