I have recently taken the plunge an bought my first medium format camera, a Rolleiflex 3.5F which I got for a decent price. I'll soon be replacing the focusing screen, but I'm divided between a DIY conversion using the Mamiya RB/RZ67 screen or spashing out for a Bosscreen or Maxwell. Are either of these options significantly better than the RB/RZ67 option to be worth the significant price increase?
Also, the strap that had come with the camera was an old leather rolleiflex number, which promptly snapped soon after use, for which thanks to my fast reflexes I was able to grab the camera before it hit the deck. What good, secure and inexpensive options are worth considering, and how do you fit it to the camera as it seems to have an odd attachment setup compared to other cameras.
