Thanks for the post Elias, I was thinking of speed in a Cartier Bresson
sense not so much speeding up the TLR.
However, I was a bit fast to post since if people want to go with the
Rollekin so be it...

Slow, cumbersome, marvelous, fun, whatever...
Actually, it speeds up the operation of the TLR. The entire 24x36
frame is visible with the viewfinder loupe, so you can compose and
shoot as you have the focus under full control.
Without the loupe, and with the mask in place the viewfinder is bright
and contrasty. Advancing the film requires a button to be pushed for
each frame, but the cranking is a bit faster than for roll film. Where
it may be a little slower than roll film, and lot slower than an SLR
is in the loading and unloading of the film, but I haven't been in the
awkward situation of having to change film quicker than photo opps
disappeared since I shot high shcool football games in the early 80s.
I think it should be a requirement that everyone on the Rollei User
Group use the Rolleikin at least once. : )
