Carlos:

I miss Herbert Keppler very much. He kept writing up to the very end - and from first to last, for more than 40 years, all his stuff was finest kind. Of course you had to take some of it 'with several grains of salt'.

Thank you Stephen for the post, I knew the lens tests through the old
RUG member message I reproduced a few days ago but the magazine
articles direct reading has a different flavor; I knew Herbert Kepler
Asahi Pentax camera book.
The articles contain some of the topics Rollei TLR users have been
discussing along 50 years: EVS or no EVS, built- in lightmeter or no
built- in lightmeter, 3.5/75 four elements vs 3.5/75 five elements
lenses, Planar vs Xenotar, but HK final words in the first article
summarize the idea about the Rolleiflex at the time:"Good solid
improvements for one of the finest cameras in the world".

PS: Herbert Kepler died in January 4, 2008.-
