My battered Rollei's.

My battered Rolleis.

The Grey T needs a head bandage and an MRI scan for brain damage.
Amazing that everything still works after a hit like that. A modern camera body would be toast .

Just received my Yashica A in the mail. Definitely another user-class camera, but optics look relatively good and the controls are much smoother than my Rolleicord III. I know triplet lenses aren't much desired, but I can't wait to run a few rolls through this thing - a few cheap Shanghai GP3 rolls are on the way.

The "A" that I have is very sharp in the centre getting softer to the sides . The most difficult part for me with the "A" is getting into a system with the film wind on and shutter so as to avoid double exposures or wasting film , something I don't have with my Rolliecord. Otherwise a fine camera.

Painted Yellow Rolleicord. The camera is not mine, it is a friends.

And here it is in the hands of my Grandfather back in 1960.

So is this a school camera club? Looks like it's almost 100% TLRs.

Oh, no. He worked as a photographer for the Daily Express in Scotland.

Here's another picture showing the whole team

It's quite ironic seeing this and reading in other threads about newspapers getting rid of their entire staff photographers....

It's also very interesting to see that during this period the TLR appears to be king,. I certainly can't see many (any ?) 35mm cameras in evidence, be they Leica's or SLR's....

This is a Rolleiflex 3.5 F that I bought about 20 years ago. I don't use it much since I bought my DSLR.
Does anyone know what the bar on the size of the camera is for?

 

[KoNickon]

I see -- that looks like someone made a one-off strap bracket for the camera. Never seen something like that before.

 

[rhl-oregon]

User-made mount for flash/side grip? Looks user-fabricated IMO.

 

[Spavinaw]

DaveO--The two pieces at the top and bottom with the slots look almost exactly like the brackets for the side strap on a 4X5 Pacemaker Graphic. I believe they could also be used to mount a Graphic flash. I have no idea what the flat metal up the side of the camera is about.

 

[DaveO]

Thanks for all the answers. I use a bracket that screws into the tripod socket on the Roleiflex for the flash.

A spot of silliness with my two Rolleiflex 2.8Es, wearing my Ray-Ban Wayfarers.

 

[Kent]

When I see all those beauties, I feel like buying another one. (Have sold my copies some time ago!)

My latest, a mint Rolleiflex Automat from 1939. It came with its case and cap.
