Hi Marc,
I realize that it's a trick question, but to fire the Baby Grey, open
the viewfinder hood....
IIRC, someone here on this very list told a tale of how he bought one
from a pawn/used shop for next to nothing as the owner thought the
shutter was broken.
I'd like to hear more about the Rolleinars, as I have all 3, but found
them a bit fiddly to use compared to the 6008/90mm APO-Symmar makro I
recently posted. Any suggestions? How close can you go? How well does
the parralax system work?
Cheers,
Thor
p.s. I agree that Sanders book is stunning. I haven't seen Carlos',
unfortunately.

I am having a few requests for on-topic discussions. I am at a
loss. This List is run by Member input, with my right of killing a
thread, a la post 9-11. We spent a huge quantity of electrons in
such discussions on Rollei use back in our earlier incarnation. I
have suggested to these folks that they ask questions to inspire
conversation but they have not done so. Apparently, they expect us
to provide the show while they stay safely on the sidelines. Again,
I am at a loss. You guys provide the List is topics and, yes, a lot
of us have been together for almost two decades and have discussed
the using of the Rollieflex camera to death.
Allow me to ask:
When using a Magnar, how should a shooter adjust the shutter and f/
stops? What about for a Duonar? What about a LR Mutar?
Why will a Baby Grey not fire when the shutter is cocked?
Others, add in. We seem to be being perceived as being, as one
person noted, "the Nancy Pelosi List: eternally boring".
Save the List. Start telling us where we are wrong. Shucks, tell
me why I am the most inept List Owner in history. That is not
important. Save the List by asking questions!
