I love the Harry Fleenor story. I have a 3.5 F with a working meter!! I bought her secondhand back in 1984-85.
I love my 2.8E. Beautiful camera. Wonderful to use. I now have my grail cameras; the 2.8, a Leica M5, and a Rollei 35T.
Great video. The best thing about the video is you, Jon. Your integrity and personal authenticity just shows in every frame. I had a 3.5f for awhile but sold it last year to a fellow FIAB person who was thrilled to have it. I ended up missing using a Rollei, and recently bought a 2.8d Planar that had been CLA'd and I'm waiting for the Maxwell screen and then I will be good to go again. I love these old mechanical cameras--they are made like Swiss watches and are a pleasure to shoot.
So wonderful to have had the opportunity of photographing some of the heroes and legends of WWII. As a war photographer, I have wanted to honor those who served our country through artful portraiture. My great grandfather is 102 years old, a living war hero and lives across the street from me. It has been an intention of mine to photograph him in an honorable and special manner, perhaps using a rolleiflex now that I'm in the market. Thank you for sharing your portraits! It's inspired me to use the camera for just as honorable of purposes. @JacquesLaFleche
I have a 2.8f, been building it up for the past few years, Its from 1953 and found it's way to Cape Town. What a glorious camera, thanks for the inspiring video to go out and shoot.
Really glad I found your Find Lab! Just bought my 4th Rolleiflex - a 3.5 after stupidly selling the others way back before prices skyrocketed!
Very cool camera and informative video. I found a 2.8f white face at goodwill but it never worked. I’ll have to send it to Harry.
A few days ago I managed to get a Rolleiflex Old Standard. This camera has been my biggest wish ever since I started analog photography. A few years ago I also got a 1937 Rolleicord with its Rolleikin for 35mm film and it has been a very faithful companion. But the Rolleiflex is something special, simply the most beautiful camera that exists and that is exactly what motivates me a lot to roll and shoot, using Rollei cameras completely transforms the scene and throughout the time that I have been with Rollei they are always the center of attention of very interesting stories, but they are also excessively discreet cameras.
What a review! The personal thoughts really gives an edge here over other reviews. Thanks for the insight!
The reason the shutter is quiet is not that it's a leaf shutter. It's the lack of a mirror that flips. Leica M bodies are quiet and have focal plane shutters, hasselblads are noisy and have leaf shutters.
Really enjoyed your passion!!
Quite interesting to watch this right after your Yashica Mat 124G video. Which of the two do you prefer? Would you still recommend the 124G?
really enjoying the content you all are putting out… question… i know you all are trying to run a business & obviously can’t keep every beautiful camera that comes your way, but you seem to have such a nostalgic & sentiment attachment to this beauty… do you mind me asking why you decided to let it go instead of keeping it for yourself? just curious… thanks!
What a great video, your personality and love for the Rolleiflex is real! I really enjoyed it. Thank you
Enjoyed this video. I've got the 3.5. Got a good deal. Probably needs a CLA.
ur cool. subbed :) dad just gave me his 3.5f. learned some new things from you. thanks.
you know where you set the ISO, on that dial there is also another dial for 1,2,3,4 etc.. is that for pushing stops? any clues or tips please?
How much was Rolleiflex sold for that was featured?
Goosebumps- me too❤
