I fully agree!! Von: rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Im Auftrag von Jan Decher Gesendet: Freitag, 6. August 2010 14:14 An: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: [rollei_list] DHW Fototechnik Rollei site Hm, would be nice if Rollei would not just focus on luxury custom- made classic 35s but also provide a basic user model. AND start thinking about developing a digital (full frame!) 35 (and perhaps TLR!). It seems to me the scale focus Rollei 35 would really benefit from a rear live LCD screen while keeping focus, shutter and f-stop dials mechanical as before. Jan
I have stopped using live LCD screen digitals except for grab shots when I visit my kids. This works fine inside and most other times, but if there is much sunlight I can't see the image. You do mention TLR in your comment and I really agree with that.
Regarding LCD viewer screens, this is an issue in the two smaller digital cameras I have, a Panasonic and an Olympus. If I have to deal with sunlight I use an Olympus digital SLR. Just a model 500 but I think it's fine for what I do. Came with a kit of two lenses which cover all my needs.
Strange thing, however, an older Sony video camera, one that uses tapes, has a relatively bright and very usable screen, but it also has a through-the-lens viewfinder and I use that when doing grand-kids sports shots, (at least when I am visiting back in San Diego).
I would be happy, if I could afford it, to have a small digital Rollei but with a through-the-lens viewfinder. I suppose this notion is because I was never lucky (or rich) enough at the time, to have ever owned a classic Rollei 35 film camera.
