Hello Stephen:
I think it depends on the focus you have on your
photography activity. Rollei developed and manufactured the plate adapter
in the 1930s for the same reason that it developed and manufactured the
Rolleikin for 35mm, to allow TLR users to use the most popular formats of
the moment together with the 120 without having to change between cameras.
The 6.5 x9 cm flat film was very popular at the time in Europe and the
Rollei TLR camera could use it with an adapter while keeping the 6x6 format.
I make occasional use of flat film, my main photographic recording medium
with the Rollei TLR is roll 120, I think it is a matter of a test bench in
a laboratory to determine the best or worst image quality of the film on
roll or of the sheet film. I don't use sheet film thinking of better image
quality; I use sheet film -the few times I use it- because I like to use
it, it allows me to develop it one by one knowing the conditions in which I
took the photograph and obtain an immediate result.

Stephen: I think that the effort is worth the effort.... Film, done
correctly, has an inescapable presence that is different than digital. In
all, though, digital can afford immediate editing and gratification. Film
will be relegated to the "quaint" file going forward; however, there is
still a fraction of a percent of the population that could appreciate a
silver process workflow.
I love plate exposure on 6X6. It is slower, deliberate and unique. After
my dalliance with Rolleiflex, I enjoy plate photography with my
Hasselblads. I still enjoy taking my Rolleis out in public. Every once in
a while, someone will comment on it. Fun times....

It would be interesting to see a quality comparison between the normal
use of roll film and a plate shot. I wonder the degree of difference and
whether the work and limitations (only one shot) is worth it. I've never
used it and understand it was developed (no pun) for specific reasons, but
is it really worth the effort?
Best Regards,
Steve

theRollei Plate adapter to the camera. This is a fun and challenging
