I went out with w few Camera Club / FLICKR Mates and a Dog to Mores Woods here in Essex and took my Gift Rolleiflex T with 16-on kit loaded with outdated Fuji Reala 100 which I had not used for many Months - I also took a light TRIPOD as shutter speeds were all about 1/15th second with one on 1/2 second to capture Movement in the Water -- it was COLD. MUDDY but SUNNY! I home-processed the Film in C41 ---negs were good.

Interesting! Especially the slightly green cast on some of the images.
Lens still appears to be more than capable after all this time.
(Not the first time for Rollei envy for me Wink )

That's a very nice camera. I have a few Rolleiflexes, some early ones as well as late 1950 copies, and especially the newer ones still are beautiful examples of 1950s German craftmanship.

That's something I did last time in the 1990s ... but always with good results, too. Sometimes I was "pushing" the films a little bit, as I was often doing available light / concerts back then.

Rollei envy? Get one --!! That's the easiest solution for the problem ... if you're not hunting for the f2.8 Planar models, the Rolleicords / Rolleiflexes aren't that expensive any more ... you can get them with Zeiss Triotar f3.5 triplets as well as with Zeiss Tessar f3.5 and Schneider Xenar (Tessar type) f3.5 lenses.

Cords and Flexes are still north of 600.00 here~ still a little on the steep side.
Missed out on an S.L. for mid 400's recently, but not the same creature at all.
