Hi Everybody,
Last week I used a friend's Mamiya C220 TLR and was really amazed with the output Medium format film results.
Since today is my birthday, I got myself a Rolleicord III from Tony Rose. Any feedback and advices from You relating to this particular Rollei TLR would be greatly appreciated, thanks !!!

You'll love - as any Rollei. Things you need to accustom to is the reversed framing, especially for vertical lines, but after a while it'll be a reflex (no pun intended) to tilt it on the right or the left.
Go out in the streets and wait for the comments from the hoi polloi!

it's a great tool, you will love it. Get a strap and hang it from your neck, get a bay 1 lens shade, and go shoot a lot with it

a good strap preferably... A friend of mine had a mere cotton string to hold his Rollei T...

rolleistef:i see a pattern there...
A FRIEND of yours had a mere cotton string for the rollei T...
and then you ask how to repair an out-of-alignment lensboard of a rollei T...
wink,wink
Friends are foolish, indeed

aha Pherdinand... well it's a funny story, he had his camera bag with him and behold there was a well known shape with a triangle in it... But his camera is black and mine is grey! And since he's got a matching case, his is in a much better condition! And I've got an Olympus strap (from an OM2) for my Baby.
(Btw it seems it was a mirror prb)

good to hear. Real lens board misalignment problems are very difficult to remedy.
