[rollei_list] Re: Tele Mutar & Tele Rolleiflex

Although not recommended (or even mentioned by Rollei) a friend used a
Tele-Mutar (BayIII) on his Tele-Rolleiflex to get an approximate 200mm lens.
The results were good, better than enlarging the standard Tele negative to
the same magnification. The results did show some slight vignetting which
probably would be eliminated by stopping down a little. Light conditions did
not permit this though and they were only of buildings. Someone could try
this combo for portraiture?

The other alternatives to taking out a bank loan to purchase a new
Tele-Rollei with close focusing are to use one of the Rolleinars (.35 or .7)
for the old Teles which give head & shoulder and head shots respectively.
