Rolleiflex is the name of a long-running and diverse line of high-end cameras originally made by the German company Franke & Heidecke, and later Rollei-Werk. The "Rolleiflex" name is most commonly used to refer to Rollei's premier line of medium format twin lens reflex (TLR) cameras. (A companion line intended for amateur photographers, Rolleicord, existed for several decades.) However, a variety of TLRs and SLRs in medium format, and zone focus, and SLR 35 mm, as well as digital formats have also been produced under the Rolleiflex label. The 120 roll film Rolleiflex series is marketed primarily to professional photographers. Rolleiflex cameras have used film formats 117 (Original Rolleiflex), 120 (Standard, Automat, Letter Models, Rollei-Majic, and T model), and 127 (Baby Rolleiflex).
The Rolleiflex TLR film cameras were notable for their exceptional build quality, compact size, modest weight, superior optics, durable, simple, reliable mechanics and bright viewfinders. They were popular and widely imitated. The high-quality 7.5cm focal length lenses, manufactured by Zeiss and Schneider, allowed for a smaller, lighter, more compact camera than their imitators[citation needed], further differentiating the Rolleiflex TLR from many of its competitors, who were forced by inferior optics to use 8.0cm or 8.5cm focal length lenses. Unique to the Rolleiflex Automat and letter model cameras, the mechanical wind mechanism was robust and clever, making film loading semi-automatic and quick. This mechanism started the exposure counter automatically, auto-spaced the 12 or 24 exposures, and tensioned the shutter; all with less than one full turn of the film advance crank. This makes the Rolleiflex Automat/Letter model cameras very sought-after for shooting fast paced action, such as street photography[citation needed]. A wide range of accessories made this camera a system: panorama head, sun shade, parallax-corrected close-ups lenses, color correction, contrast enhancing, and special effect filters, all mounted with a quick release bayonet, as well as a quick-change tripod attachment. Some amateur and fine-art photographers still shoot Rolleiflex TLR film cameras with color transparency, color negative, or black-and-white film. The later f2.8 and f3.5 letter models (Planar or Xenotar lens) are highly sought after in the used market, and command the greatest price. Rolleiflex TLRs are no longer manufactured. Historically there were five focal length cameras available include 5.5cm Rollei-Wide, 6.0cm Baby Rollei, 7.5cm (f:3.5), 8.0cm (f2.8), and 13.5cm (f:4 Zeiss Sonnar) Tele-Rolleiflex. Although all Rolleflex cameras can be fine user cameras, there is also, an active market for many Rolleiflex models as collectables, and this adds (greatly in some models) to the end price paid, particularly in Japan[citation needed].

03 - Apr - 2012:
I was taking some record shots of my latest batch of newly-acquired vintage cameras and decided on this one.
It's a Fujica AX-3 SLR film camera which arrived this week. I'm looking to make a collection of Fujicas and this is my 6th Fujica SLR
Taken on the Canon 5D MkII with 2 remote speedlites in a light tent.
This is the first camera I ever used. George Cross was my Grand Father, who died in the early 50's. I would have used this camera in the mid 60's.
the collection as of december '07
not shown: the camera that took the picture - nikon d40
or the digital camera on the macbook or in the cell phone.
brings the tally to something around 56 cameras.
most cameras seen here were thrifted. the majority cost $1 or less.
in cases. and the ones i use are on a shelf.
i don't want to pay for film any more. i don't want to buy $7 batteries to use in cameras that cost $1 a shot.
i know i can get film for all of the cameras [except the polaroid roll film, that's the only one dead. the sx-70 pack can be modified, etc]
if i happen to find polaroid 600 film for a quarter a pack, then hell ya.
in the mean time, i'm goin digital and stockpiling film cameras for fun.
X-T10 was released on 25 June.
My husband wrote a review article about X-T10 in Japanese.
I took the photos of the camera for it.
Taken in front of the giant reflective sphere in Rundle Mall Adelaide, which gave for a great effect with the blurred reflections. Focus is on the boy, with the camera struggling to focus on the rest.

D700 with UWH 12/5.6 works fine.
Not perfect but good enogh.
F2A with 40/2 was not needed for photograph at Osaka.
But they were came from Kenjiro.
I had to bring by another reason.
Whatever my ideas, experience or creative vision, there is a lens or camera to draw out my potential. Each picture represents the pride and passion of a photographer that some can't understand it. How will I see the world? let my Nikon help..
So Jeni came up with these awesome little drawstring bags to tote around her camera. She was nice enough to share her measurements and notes with me so I could make one for myself.
A little birdie told me that she will be posting the tutorial when she gets back from Sewing Summit!
Meet the newest member of the family. Yup, I dood it. At the time of this posting, I've had the D700 for about 5 days. I haven't had time to learn much about it, except for what I could make work under a couple of "live fire field trials", falling back on what I learned of Nikon logic and function from working with the D40. My "slow approach" to the D700 is mostly due to my perverse nature. The weekend before I made this purchase I had a final major effort, a grand last hurrah with my D40. On Saturday the 14th, I covered a dance workshop with the legendary Leila Gamal at Mona's studio. That evening was Ayperi and Misha in two Valentine's Day performances at the Med Hookah. Next day, the 15th, was a wedding reception at the Med Hookah for Mona and her husband Randy Chase. 11 dancers were scheduled to perform for the attending guests.
That evening I downloaded 3874 images to my computer.
So It has taken me a little time to put that job to bed. :-)
And I knew that if I started playing with the D700 before I finished that job, i'd never finish it. If it were my own photo study, I'd have probably fallen to the temptation, but that weekend shoot was important to a lot of other people, and I couldn't afford to be sidetracked. I'm just about done - cd's and dvd's delivered, and my own selected photos of the events are posted, for the most part.
Now I can start playing with my new "friend". At least I hope it wants to be friends. I hope I can live up to its expectations!
Oh, there's that 50 mm f/1.4 prime lens I bought to use on the D40. It works perfectly well on the D700. So it wasn't a wasted purchase after all.
Oh again. Yes, that is the Nikkor 24-70 mm f/2.8 lens attached to the camera. Good glass on a good camera. Nothing else really makes sense, does it?

For the RogueOlympics on www.RogeuBricks.de I built a camera with only 101 parts, which you can find on my stream.
I liked this first 101 parts MOC so much, that I decided to build it again - but then without part limit.
The camera itself is only build with LEGO parts and, the Nintendo set tiles fitting perfectly for the screen on the backside. Also the objektive is brick build in this one.
