But by using the Rolleikin, you might as well be shooting a Contax, Nikon or any other small format camera. The whole point of the 'flex is the wonderful 6x6cm film area to capture the image.
How often to Tele-Mutar's show up, and what do they generally run?I have the close up adapters, but they don't do the flattering foreshortening that a true tele would for portaits.
