Ricoh Diacord, not quite a test roll but still trying this out.

This last one was underexposed and has some nasty artefacts that are my fault, not the camera's.

From the first picks of 4 rolls of XP2 I shot on holiday in Ireland,
Rolleicord CZJ 75mm f/4.5, at 1/300th @ f/16
 
Ricohflex + lucky 100
not the best camera, but quite like how this one turns out

I really like this shot.

(I guess you couldn't ask the woman to take a few steps forward and to her right? That would have placed her perfectly in terms of composition, IMO.)
 
After playing with my Rolleicord a bit, my wife expressed interest in shooting a TLR as well. I found a $40 Autocord in great condition with the exception of some oil on the shutter blades. A few hours of cleaning later it was ready for a test roll. I went to shoot a local zombie walk, as you do when you want to test a new pair of cameras (I also took the IIIc out for the first time). :)

Over all, I'm pretty happy with these shots. I need to check the focus and perhaps make adjustments there, but might leave it alone as good enough for now.

ya i guess i could, but i usually dont usually ask my subject to pose or move etc...
 
I think in terms of pure resolution TLRs have it ... I saw a shot posted in the gallery a few weeks ago, by Arvay from memory, that absolutely took my breath away!

I found it ... aplogies to Arvay for thieving this from the gallery archives but I love this photo and couldn't seem to find it in this thread.

Yes, this is an incredible photo.
Often when I see something shot with a Rolleiflex I have to think that I will never match that with my Mamiya, but the 2 old lenses I have are still good, and the ability to focus closely without supplementary lenses is a great plus, even with adjustments for parallax and bellows extension.
