For a few years, a Rollei TLR was my only camera. Before that it was a
Ikoflex.
Over the years I keep getting drawn to interchangable lens cameras, but
in the end I come back to the Rollei. Invariably the interchangable
lens cameras prove to be more compromise than benefit. Sure sometimes
a longer lens is nice (have to confess to running the Tele-Rollei this
weekend), but when I need a camera which will deliver, it is the Rollei
that I reach for. I think your decision is not a bad one. Too many
people convince themselves that they really need a multitude of lenses,
when what they really need is more photographic vision. You will find
running just the one camera / lens will really sharpen your skills as a
photographer.
