I think the underlying problem is that Rollei's are such straight
forward reliable, intuitive machines, that there just isn't a lot to
talk about.
And that's where you're wrong! How's that for a conversation starter?
I was shooting the portrait of my wife and her fellow ordinands (and
the bishop who wouldn't hire a photographer) just before the
ordination to the ministry service at the Cathedral of St. Paul in
Boston when I felt the winder of my 2.8C stick, and not advance. I hid
my shock very well, and hit the shutter release another time, and then
was able to advance. It was very cold out in front of the church at
9:45 am. What happened? Did I not properly release the shutter? Was
the film not properly in the start position when I loaded, and a
corner was stuck somewhere (cold film). Or was the devil trying to
ruin my work? I've had a few mis-advanced framed with the rollei -
it's been CLA'd in the last three years.
I've yet to process the film, as I'm short on time these days, but
this weekend I will. I'll find out if I got a double exposure on the
first frame.
Comments, suggestions?
Elias
