Would you trade...

[Lemures-Ex]

First off, not looking for a trade, just putting out feelers so I don't think that this belongs in the classifieds. Mods, please let me know if it does.

I recently acquired a nice Rolleiflex 2.8E Planar and I love it. On the other hand I am rangefinderless at the moment (my canonet went away recently) and can't justify buying a new one, but rf's are my main photographic love. My question is would anyone here trade your rf for this Rollei?

Rf's I had in mind are: Leica M4-2 or M4-P, Bessa R2a or m, or an R2 with a 35 or 50mm lens.

Thanks in advance for the help folks. I hate these descisions...

Edit: so apparently there is some interest in this. I would prefer a Leica (I do miss my M4-2) but if I can't get one then the Bessas will suffice.

I'd say that would be a fair trade with someone with several Leicas and no Rolleiflex looking to get into MF. They are both "classic" cameras. It's not like a trade for a digital camera. 😛

the 645 folder or nonfolder fuji's would be fair i guess.
Or an older gsw/gw 670.

Thanks Frank, glad to know you think it's a reasonable deal. Anyone here with an extra rangefinder? 🙂

I would -- if an R3A is at all of interest.

Tempting, but I think I like 35mm focal length a bit too much to go that route. I'm not a big fan of acessory finders. I'll keep it in mind though 🙂

Ok, so I'll get some pics of the Rollei and put it up in the trade section later this evening. In the mean time if anyone has a tentative offer please send me a pm and you can look at the Rollei once I post the classified.

Thanks again everyone,
Jared
