From Sven:
Alright, there you go…

Pictures were taken with the 3,5F on Fuji Acros 100 and reproduced
with a Sony A7RII from a light panel, post-processed in Capture One.
Regards, Sven
Sven, many thanks indeed for sharing those nice images with the group.
I do not want to comment on the historical aspects of the placse you
visited, I just want to emphasise that last generation of full-frame
(in France, we say: 24x36) digital cameras now offer a very attractive
solution to digitize 6x6 negs or slides.
I have often spoken with young people, enthusiastic about 120 rollfilm
cameras, including Rolleis of course.
The main problem does not come from the camera itself; the price for
consumables might be a problem, but the real problem come when young
people want to share their film images as everybody is supposed to do
nowadays: digitally through the Internet.
Usually I do not want to elaborate with young film enthiusasts on the
reasons why amateur-grade flatbed scanners are not able to extract
everything contained in a good 6x6 image taken with a Rollei TLR,
when the camera is in good working condition. Actually, only a
professional film scanner like a drum scanner or a professional
flatbed can extract all the fine details -about 70 cy/mm for a
tessar-xenar 3,5-75, up to 100 cy/mm for a planar-xenotar 75 or 80)
But now enter into the scene half-format (18x24 mm) and full-formùat
(24x36 mm) digital cameras.
Sure the image you can extract from a 6x6 Rollei TLR image with a
half-frame amateur-grade digital camera will definitely never match
what a drum canner is supposed to deliver, but as a paradox, since
you no longer need a film scanner to get a decent to excellent (lioke
Sven's 42 Mpix files) scan from your 120-film negatives with a digital
camera, there is no longer any problem to make 120-film images and
share them with friends.
This is a big incentive to use 120-film cameras all kinds as of 2017,
including ...
Rollei zweiäuge Reflexkameras, natürlich! (as they say in Bozen, Italy)
