Your camera is specifically a Rolleiflex Standard 622. The 622 has an improved focus knob, f3.5 maximum aperture, and a built-in spirit level. Although the uncoated Tessar is quite sharp, I recommend using an orange filter (28.5mm push-on) to improve contrast. Great results from a fantastic camera!
I enjoy watching your videos, saw a lot of them and got plenty of information about different and interesting cameras. It's people like you that contribute very actively to keep film photography alive, as a hobby, a form of art and a medium of personal expression. Keep up the good work. You're very informative without being tiresome.
You're a really nice older gent with a lot of stories and wisdom. I think the reason your viewers return is actually the user, not so much the cameras. Maybe upon first visit it's about a particular camera, however, I've returned for the personality. It's a very unique channel that a lot of the modern trendy click bait hip videos miss
Please also note that the later Automat has a separate feeler roller that the film goes under. Of course the film would never go under the main rollers on each side of the gate. I expect that would lead to vertical scratches. (unlike those mysterious horizontal scratches in the present roll.)
From my experience Fomapan Classic can be shot at ISO 200 and developed as Fomapan Creative and gives better results than Fomapan 200 shot at ISO 200 - there is less grain. I use Rodinal 1+25 4 min 20C for Classic ISO 100 and 5 min 20C for Creative ISO 200.
This was interesting vlog.I have exactly same model Rolleiflex like yours. Although yours is in lot nicer condition. Mine looks like it have gone through war or something. But it still works fine. The exact model is Rolleiflex Standard model 622. That's due to f 3.5 lens. Could you tell what developer did you use with Fomapan?
Count the reflections. All Tessars at that time were 4 element.. (The contemporary 3-element lens from Zeiss, Triotar, was also used by Rollei on cheaper models). Of course it's not coated. Not invented yet.

Be polite or don’t comment. There’s no need to be so condescending here.
