Interesting idea.

...but as much as I love my Rollei 35, how about a different second camera that compliments the Rollei?

  • Maybe a digital, for color and telephoto?
  • Maybe something with a 28 mm lens? For example, Nikon Lite Touch, Minolta TC-1, etc.? This would add automatic capability too, for those quick grab shots.
  • Maybe a light SLR with a tele zoom? (ex. Nikon FG + Vivitar 75-205/3.8) This is bordering on heavy, compared to an R35, but adds a lot of capability.
  • Half frame?

Just saw your comment, apologies for this rather late reply. Thank you also for the suggestions. You are right to suggest a more varied focal length mix. I seem especially to be missing the 50mm, whenever I am not with one. But I also like the 40mm focal length, perhaps even more than the 35mm. It just seems like a good focal length for the city I live in. Often I'll take just the Rollei and a Leica with a 50mm. It's a good and relatively light combo with sufficiently different focal lengths and camera bodies to merit carrying both.
 
Cute mini :D

Rollei 35 Classic, Fuji C200.
 
I've been shooting a lot lately with a Kiron zoom lens on my Nikon FG. Looking in my Flickr Photostream, I can spot right away the Rollei 35 shots, as they are a lot more contrasty. (due to only having a 4 element lens)

@Smaug: what is the point of uploading 12Mpx images on this forum? For pixel peepers? Typical screen can display 2Mpx, even before counting loss due to mismatch of aspect ratios.

Hi Fernando!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I scan my negs with a canon flatbed scanner.
Best
 
Very nice, Lynn. I like both. It's great that your beaches are open. The entire Chicago lakefront is closed til May 31.

People who want to see it larger can click and view it larger.

If not, RFF crunches it to the screen size automatically. Is yours showing them full size?

Generally better to post photos in a modest size, say 1200 px or less on the long side. Your uploaded photos appear at full page-width, even the verticals like your lighthouse photo. So the vertical ones then get very tall. I see the forum on a 27" monitor so large photos aren't a problem for me... But there are other members who browse the forum on much smaller screens such as phones, pads and laptops. And the larger photos may require more scrolling to see. Larger photos also slow the loading of the page. I recall this being more an issue some years ago, don't notice it so much now with a faster connection. But it may affect others...
