TLR experts, help?
Curious Idea popped up in my giant head... was there ever a TLR that is framed and geared for 6x4.5 centimeters on 120/220 film? I mean... the orientation of the film travel would be right, not like one of those Fuji 645's... any info? I think such a model would be great to have! -- })))* Giant_Alex cravdraa_at-yahoo_dot-com not my site: http://www.e-sword.net/ |

There are several Rolleiflex TLR with 4.5x6 kits and 16 pictures per 120 film. This includes the Rolleiflex T and the Rolleicord Vb Martin |

Wait till you go from horizontal to vertical composition with a TLR without a prism. And if it has a 45° prism finder you will have even more fun. -- To reply no_ HPMarketing Corp. |

If you're looking for a vertical image, many TLRs including the Flexaret and the Rolleiflex had 35mm (or 828) adapters which allowed a narrow and vertical image. I believe there was a pre-War TLR that used 127 film to produce a near 645 vertical image (Foth?). However I would stay away from uncoated lenses. Steve |

This includes the Rolleiflex T and the Rolleicord Vb Martin OK I checked that out, a Rolleicord Vb will change to 6x4.5cm, too cool. And it makes awesomely sharp pictures as can be seen on pbase.com too, so I bought that 16 shot kit on eBay... now for the perfect Vb to come along. Thanks for the advise. -- })))* Giant_Alex cravdraa_at-yahoo_dot-com not my site: http://www.e-sword.net/ |

Sounds like it would be odd, though easier with a prism on. Thanks! -- })))* Giant_Alex cravdraa_at-yahoo_dot-com not my site: http://www.e-sword.net/ |

Rolleikin. Yeah, but that is for 35mm film, 645 is better. -- })))* Giant_Alex cravdraa_at-yahoo_dot-com not my site: http://www.e-sword.net/ |

Use this email address only to submit mail for evaluation. Right, but the previously mentioned Rolleicord Vb can do two sizes of medium format, like the Bronica sq ai. At those prices and quality of the camera as well as the sharpness of the lens, I find it quite desireable. Film can do things that digital cannot do, in a pinch. -- })))* Giant_Alex cravdraa_at-yahoo_dot-com not my site: http://www.e-sword.net/ |
