It's interesting that noone has mentioned the prism as a most useful accessory.

Since the category has been stretched, my most useful accessories are: lens hood, light meter, Rolleinar 1, neck strap (when hand held), Rolleifix (for tripod), medium yellow filter for B&W, small electronic flash, tripod, all but the latter stuffed into an elderly grey LowePro Mini-Magnum bag, along with Rolleiflex and film. There are a few other things I sometimes use, but this has been my basic outfit for decades. I'll give it up when I'm done with photography.Allen Zak On Aug 1, 2007, at 1:10 PM, dpurdy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:No doubt some like the strap since they sell for so much money. However Idon't like the way a Rollei hangs on my neck and I have a very nice Lowepro case that holds the camera and also essential accessories. If I was to switch to wearing the rollei as a neckless, which I won't, I would have a wide pad made to fit the strap. I got your postcard in the mail to you yesterday by the way. Thanks for the exchange. Dennis PurdyThe strap useless??? Only if you keep the Rollei on a tripod its wholelife, and then the most useful accessory becomes the Rolleifix.In my shooting, the three most essential accessories are the lenshood, thestrap, and the Maxwell grid screen. ----- Original Message ----- From: <dpurdy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 11:06 AM Subject: [rollei_list] Re: Best/Worst Rollei accessory was Re: Google Rollei archive search A lens shade is a must have accessory as well as a number 1 or 2 Rolleinar.the most useless accessories I find are the everyready case and the strap.DennisRollei made most useful: lens hood. Rollei worst: viewing lens-mounted flash. When they were current, I thought them a bad idea, and these days a useless bad idea. Generally most useful: for Rolleis with no or disfunctional light meter, a Gossen Luna Pro, or another almost as good hand held unit. Even with a working inboard meter, they are good to have. Generally worst: a spoon. On Aug 2, 2007, at 2:21 AM, Marvin Wallace wrote:If I may, I'd like to ask one question maybe two to the group. What is the most useful accessory for Rolleiflex and what would rank as the worst?
