I second those accessories! - the worst has to be the flash

Rob

The flash bothers me because it can stress the camera front panel, however, its mounted that way because the Rolleiflex has controls on both sides so a conventional bracket gets in the way no matter how you mount it. All of the accessories are cleverly designed and most seem to fill a need for someone. My pick for the worst is probably the slide projection accessory. Not because of any design flaw (though it may have some) but because its a makeshift at best. I consider the lens hood an intregal part of the camera rather than a true accessory. I suppose a Rolleigrid or some other screen brightener should also be considered that way. I have a couple of Rolleikins and occasionally use them, also a panoramic attachment, both of which work very well. However, the Rollei really does not need much help.
