    Rolleicord or Seagull

    This can happen to anything which has not been used for the past many years. A 2.8F/E Rolleiflex or Rolleicord or Yashicamat usually fall into this category. I very reluctant to buy from Ebay because some of the Rolleicord I saw the 1s Copal became a 5s exposure time. Many Yashicamat will commit...

    Holga B&W with 35mm adapter

    Nice ones! Did you remove the mask to get the sproket exposed also? how accurate is the back dial showing the film count. I just done one roll and waiting for the results. Seems cheaper if shooting in colour than 6X6

    Where to get Holga now?

    Hi Bro When I first saw the Holga many years ago, I said to me self "what the ......??!!" But I bought one in 1998 there about, and then it came only with a 645 mask. I had to butcher it to make it 6X6. The shuttle sticked, and had to oil it to make it work. The first roll was like a...

    Share some MF photos ...

    I still prefer you to have model's face turned to you with eyes contact... and can see more of her legs ..... :) not sure if you omitted the legs to reduce 'distration', but certainly the picture will be more interesting if it makes me move my eyes from her face to the legs and back to face...

    Your Experience on Portrait Lens

    As a Canon DSLR user, one enioys a wonderfully great flexibilility of using many alternative prime "Cult" Portait lenses apart from the L lenses. I am primarily a Nikon user but after the D80 I have not considered any more Nikon DSLR, and have picked up a Canon 30D. Nikon DSLR is going in the...

    Choosing My First RF Camera

    Hello Chiif Yes you are right in your statements that the lens performance is very much a personal taste/preference. Just like some like food really spicy some like it clear and plain. Previously I was pretty contended with my Nikkor 50mmF1.4/F1.8 and also the Contax 45mm Tessar pancake...

    How can I get a 'makeover' for a very weathered Rolleicord v in Singapore?

    Great information obscure. Might pay him a visit for opportunity to make my 2.8F looks more sexy. Perhaps he has snake skin too?? Yes I use some mink oil too. Can be purchased in most good men's shoe department. But I wont use too much of it. Rolleiflex/cord leather is pretty hardy.

    Choosing My First RF Camera

    Hello Chiif, I think Bessa R2 with framelines of 35, 50, 75 & 90mm will be the most common option. I was reading the Leica M history book and the M lens are the modern ones. The Bessa accessories allow the M compatible flexibilities. Great. Leica R bayonet 47.00 mm Leica LTM screw 28.80...

    How can I get a 'makeover' for a very weathered Rolleicord v in Singapore?

    Yes Andrew fuly restored my 2.8E and also 2 Rolleicords. I have a V there now for him to work on. Looked a bit used when first sent, now looks great. Optics is super. If anyone want a Cord, I may sell it for $500.

    Lucky film

    The guy is Guangzhou. By the way, I have spoken to Mr. Quek of Konota. He said if we can gather up 100 rolls, he can do a MO for us for the FUJI Acro 120. Asbout $6 per roll. A bit off topic here, but nevertheless a good film to get too.

    Rolleicord or Seagull

    Lately there were some people calling me about getting a Rolleicord. I think Rolleicords are getting more and more difficult to obtain and most local sets for sale are in pretty bad conditions (worn, lens seperation, scratches, etc) . Rolleicord has a higher collection value than a 'tool camera'...
