I used my Tele Rollei recently at the beach. Using a Rollei is fun as you can see on the screen a large square image. The Sonnar 135mm/4 is very sharp.
Here are my two daughters having fun.
The following posting has the full sized images. Clicking on the small images leads you to larger images that will not fill up your pc screens.

You are very lucky in at least two areas. First you have two beautiful fun daughters. Second, your Tele Rollei ROCKS. MF gives such rich tones and sharpness.

Great shots.

Thanks, Bill.
The Tele Rollei has decementing on the taking lens, but it does not seem to affect the images as much as I can tell.

Any "experts" here know how to inexpensively get rid off the decemnting rainbow colors? Brian once mentioned to add some type of oil.
 
Raid,
These are fantastic. #3 is my favorite. I love the way your little one is holding on to her older sister....just in case.
 
Tele rolleis are getting very expensive recently.
I still remember the 999$ tele sold here last year :(

btw. great shots. Sonnar in MF...

Thank you, Cindy.
It is also my favorite image here. Linda is the little one holding on to her much more "mature" six year old sister Dana.

Thanks.I got this Tele Rollei years ago from someone in Australia for a good price. It is built like a rock, as you know.
 
With this series of photos they surely must be way up there as the best photos of Dana and Lina, if not I must have missed the best. These are sensational, I have the 3.5F with the 75 mm lens and I probably wouldn't go for a Tele-Rollei but I would like some Ziess glass in the 135 x 35mm format. Thanks for sharing these they are so good.
 
Number four is my favourite - excellent work as usual Raid. And yes, there is something very nice about composing the shot on that ground-glass screen, which digital screens totally fail to replicate somehow.
 
Thank you, Guys. The girls love being themselves with me, so I also relax and just shoot away. I have to confess that I keep on striving to take better and also different photos of the girls.

I think the first luck is the most important, but the TR is nice too. I bought some super cheap macro lens for my Rollei (normal), I'll let you know how they work. The rims are plastic, but so is everything else these days, so we will see.

I like watching your girls grow up Raid. Mine are grown and on their own; I miss them.
 
Thanks. I try not to think about the possibility of somehow being less close to my daughters as they get older. Life is like that.

Thanks, Chris.
I added a Maxwell screen a few years ago. The image is very clear through such a screen.
