Enter the Snake, Blog and Rolleiflex 2.8F


Happy Chinese New Year. Exit the Dragon and Enter the Snake! And also enter my new blog which will include my photos and some thoughts and ramblings.

Given the address of the blog (RolleiLeica.blogspot.com) it would be no surprise that if somebody asked me if I could only have ONE camera to use, I would without hesitation reply a Rolleiflex TLR 2.8F (either the Planar or Xenotar version would be fine with me.) This camera has such a special feel with such a soft and gentle mechanical release yet the build of the camera has no compromises and is one of the finest example of German engineering. The picture quality is also without question superb regardless if it is the Xenotar or Planar model. There is no gimmick or special feature to this camera that you would not find elsewhere, but this camera is just royalty.
