I picked up a Zeiss Ikon folder this winter (6x6), in outstanding condition, with a 2.8 Tessar, but I can't get the hang of focusing and the images overlap on the negative. I'm told this is to be expected, but it just isn't as much fun to carry and use as a Rollei. I'd like to get a Mutar or Mutar-like attachment for the Rollei...

Peter et al.I just bought an early postwar 4.5x6 Ikonta with 75mm Tessar and if the lens is any good I will have it overhauled by Ed Smolov for a pocketable folder. A lot more satisfaction than this $2250 Fuji-"Bessa".However, a Rolleiwide is a dream of mine too. The 75 or 80 mm standard TLR lenses can be very limiting for interior shots and architecture in narrow streets. Requires a lot of "pars pro toto" thinking.Maybe I should start looking for Bay IV filters and lens hood ;-) Jan On 8 Apr 2009, at 01:06, FreeLists Mailing List Manager wrote:Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 09:31:09 -0700 Subject: [rollei_list] Re: Fuji/Bessa folder rangefinder.
