Well I have been blown up by the viewing in a Rollei TLR, and I feel quite bad about anything else I have known to day. In local language here, we use to say "with the food comes the hunger".
So I am asking about a great viewing RF with built in diopters.
I know about the Feds, but I am extremely unhappy about what for me is a very small patch. If you are a Fed owner, kindly don't take it negative. It is just a personal opinion by an humanoid, who doesn't hold any formal titles to qualify cameras.
The BUILT IN reason flows from the fact that it should work for an eyewearer like me. When you add to the fact that you already wear glasses another external diopter, it all becomes a mess of external glass, pollutioning a sharp viewing of the image to be photographed.
On the other hand, shooting without using your glasses is the best in terms of viewfinder viewing - but it delays a street shooter in need of his glasses to walk and see around sharp, read exposures and camera settings.
............
Now, what about the Rolleiflex ? For some physical reasons beyond my understanding, I can see both the goundglass image and the waist level enlarging glass, with my glasses, without needing additional corrections.
But the Rolleiflex tlr doesn't fit night shooting..., where most of my shooting takes place.
Cheers,
Ruben
