Well I tried a Rolleikin on my first Rollei ( 2.8C) back in 1971. I found it to be less than user friendly and never mounted another. The 80mm lens' perspective was nice , though. I have a box of accumulated Rolleikin parts around here if anyone needs some ( next Friday, of course).

I know, I know, that's nearly everything... Well I still like the 24x36 area I get out of my TLRs, and the Rolleikin is one hell of a gadget.

So it follows that the center 24x36 area of a TLR 6x6 negative is not necessarily sharper, or more data rich, than a 24x36 area from amicroformat SLR?Specific lenses vary but, in general, I believe that, no, the central area of a MF lens is still less capable of resolution than is a lens designed for miniature-format work.
