Roger,
Frankly, I use my Leicas and Nikon F2 much more than my 120 cameras.
Roll film processing is much
more expensive than 35mm, now that I do not have a darkroom.
Digital? No, only at work, with the company cameras. My daughter uses
a digital Leica for her cat
photography and to supply pics for my Foe Sale adverts.

Jerry, Do use your Hasselblad much? More than your Rollei or digital?

CARLOS,
I have yet to find anyone to say any bad words about the f2.8 -80mm
Planar, whether it
be on a Rolleiflex TLR, a Hasselblad or a Rollei 66.
I do have a Distagon for my Hasselblad, but it is a f4.0 -50mm wide
angle. It is superb.

Carlos,
Get yourself the much more compact 2.8/80mm Planar for your SL66
and it will
become much more hand-holdable and it will also render some of your
subjects
lovelier (better bokeh etc.).
Hi Jan:
There is a significant size and weight difference for the
Distagon 4/80 and the Planar 2.8/80 really, I preferred the Planar
2.8/80 since I'd need the Compur leaf shutter rarely, but I found this
SL66 and the Distagon 4/80 lens together in excellent condition for a
reasonable price and bought them, if I have the chance to buy a Planar
2.8/80 I'll do it. I found this Distagon an excellent lens using the
camera with tripod, very sharp.
I'm a TLR man mainly and I'm tending to use the SL66 for close-up
photography and some special DOF effect, but I like to try it for
"normal " shots sometimes, the Planar 2.8/80 would be more comfortable
for this purpose, thank you Jan.
Carlos
