[rollei_list] Re: On-Topic Discussions: Rolleinars

Actually, I have two; MX-EVS w/Xenar and 3.5F w/Planar. I use them more or less interchangeably, depending mostly on whim. For color transparencies I prefer the Planar, also occasionally I like to use a Rollei prism, but mostly I grab and go with the first one at hand. They are in identical bags not easy to tell apart at a glance, so every once in a while I don't know which I have until picture time. My attitude toward photo gear has always been a touch eccentric, I must admit.

Allen,

That sounds like an excellent basic outfit.   Which Rollei?

I regard the #1 to be essential equipment. It bridges, for me, a critical gap in close focussing. Of the Rolleinar series, I find the #1 most viable, the others less satisfactory in use because the parallax is too pronounced to predict results with enough accuracy. Some photographers use them well, but I have a hunch that except for controlled studio situations, serendipity often plays a role in results.
Over decades and after many iterations, my essential Rollei gear evolved to: camera (one only), neck strap, lens hood, light meter, small flash, medium yellow filter, Rolleinar #1, Rolleifix, film, all packed into a LowePro Minimag camera bag. Other Rollei accessories come along as needed, but this is my basic, out-the-door outfit that I have carried 20+ years.

Thor,

I believe you will find some of the information you are after here:

It is more than 10 years ago since i have used a Rolleinar. IIRC the parallax correction prism works "good enough".

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
