Ann LT

Got my Rolleiflex 2.8 D yesterday.
He looks fantastic,doesn't he?...(Although 10 years older than me, I think he might be in better shape!)
I'm putting in a roll of film today.
Wish me luck!!! :D


...that leather case is a beauty too;I think I know why it's affectionately called the "never ready case" LOL


(special thanks to Colin Clarke,Sammy Charupakorn, and Kaden K (Dehl) for their invaluable advice)

I found out Harrison McClary and Frank (Boscodamus) each's got a Rollei too!






other sizes: small medium original

i am SOOOO jealous. I have a Zeiss Ikoflex that works pretty well, but.....

What a beauty it is!!

He does look fantastic!
I have the same leather case but had a nightmare my very first morning with the camera... The strap broke!
The mirror inside broke along with my heart. He's alright though, well I'll know if he's alright once I get the first film back!
I'm going to be a regular visitor here (again) Ann.

Thanks everyone for sharing my enthusiasm!

Seeing what you have done so far with the TLR, I can't wait to see the result. Might be long if the case is really so bad ;-)

Beach volleyball anyone?

Beautiful camera! Now the cosmos is back in line, another Leica photographer with the Rollei. Yours looks a lot better than mine, unfortunately mine is not a 2.8D but the older 3.5 one.
Alejandro14-Jun-2008 20:51
yes, ... he looks fantastic!... good luck . v
Sam_C14-Jun-2008 20:35
Oh WoW!!! He is indeed a beauty, in great shape, could be in better shape than all of us! Wishing you luck, but you won't need it Ann, you got the force behind you now. Can't wait

great camera. These days I lost few auctions on ebay for a rolleiflex 2.8f and 2.8 e2 but I will eventually win one. goodluck with this camera. is so different to shot with tlr. since I put my hands on my seagull I really did not use the 5D for my own fun, only for professional work. I became more relaxed and I know I am going to take only few shots at one session and I take only the photos I feel like exhibiting, which appears now to be a very small number comparing with shooting digital. wait to see your photos. Brava!
