I have just ordered a mint condition Rolleiflex 3.5f White Face camera with a 75mm Plannar. I have not visited M/F for many years mainly concentrating on Miniature format. I process my own film B&W only and have a permanent darkroom located in the cellar of our Yorkshire stone house.

That should be great fun! And I love that you have a darkroom... my wife won't let me have a full darkroom, she grudgingly lets me develop film.

I had to go google White Face - and the only sample pic of what Wite Face vs non White Face looks like... I can't tell the diff Laughing

Is it just the absence of some decoration on the silvery metal finish?

Congrats. I cannot justify one of these as I rarely shoot 120.

Congrats, very nice camera!
I am contented with my more primitive Rolleicord and its Xenar 3.5, but I certainly would like to use such beauty!
