Why aren't you using the greatest camera system known to man anon?

>OneLens™ with the perfect focal length
>Lightweight and portable
>Precision made in Deutschland
>WLF makes creep shots effortless
>Superior leaf shutter design that's quiet, vibration-less, and offers flash sync at all speeds
>Alt-hoes, disenchanted digishit owners, and boomers love it's whimsy art-deco design
>You get neat looking album covers with the 1:1 format, no need to decide between portrait or landscape
>Actually takes photos when you want it to instead of being cucked by a million safety implements (*cough* hasselblad *cough*)

>>4432190 (OP)
I want one but I have no idea where to start. There are shittons of rolleiflex models that all look the same with a price range of 200€ to 2000€

>>4432195
6008pro

I don't even dare to shoot from the hip with my tiny shameful 3.5 'cord when there are 2.8 planar chads out there.

>>4432195
There's a Rollei for every budget.

$200-$400: 3.5A, 3.5B (K4A, K4B)
$400-$1000: 2.8C, 2.8D, 2.8E, 3.5C, 3.5D, 3.5E
$1000-$1500: 2.8F, 3.5F
$1500+: Whiteface, aurum, jahre editions

I wouldn't recommend the Rolleiflex T's as the film transport system uses nylon, just get a model that has a clean taking lens with accurate shutter speeds. The top of the plate where the selenium cells normally sit should say the serial number with the model name as a suffix, so don't get fleeced.

>>4432190 (OP)
why would you not just use an rb67 instead of these hipster memes

>>4432205
Disparaging the Rolleiflex as a "hipster meme" while shilling a camera that's associated with the most pretentious, self-inflated, trust fund babies who watched a video by
Willem Verbeeck once is not something I expected to hear

>>4432190 (OP)
is it weather sealed?

>>4432209
NTA but do you have any reason for using a TLR over an SLR? Or are you just shilling because its the thing that you have? Also post pics please.

>>4432220
Thought I rattled off everything in the original post but I'll be kind with you, I just prefer how light and quiet a TLR is compared to any SLR. Though it's more of a rich man's plaything that's fun to use while takinggreatpictures

I wish there was an easy way to do filters and also correct parallax for closeups. I really love using my TLR otherwise, just gotta meet it where it's at.

>>4432220
My mamiya c330, which is on the heavier side of TLRs, is half the weight of my RB67. Even so, I can manage 1/15s shots with the c330 where I put the RB67 at 1/30s even with the heavier weight. I like using the TLR when I don't think I'll be setting a tripod up often.

>>4432222
Nice quads nice light nice composition nice colors

I guess you need to be weak and shy to gain the full benefit of this system then.

>>4432224
C330s have a focal length selector that cams around a little indicator in the viewfinder to show parallax correction based on the focus distance. It'll show the top of the frame so you can lift the camera to correct it. Only problem is with very close focus, any with tilting the camera would change the distance to the taking lens. Makes it harder to do macro at wider apertures. Definitely an advantage for the RB67 in that regard.

>>4432190 (OP)
Inappropriately expansive to what it is really. Yashica Mat 124(G) better price, nice contrasty lens, Mamiya C220/C330 - exchangeable lens, built like a tank (4.5 lbs).

>>4432197
Based. I have a 6008af. The only things are that they are quite heavy, you need to get the batteries recelled, and it can be difficult to find a perfect film back for them.

Otherwise they are amazing, incredible lenses and very fun cameras to use. I have one of the planar rolleiflexs as well. It's a totally different vibe.

>>4432197
>>4432199
Thanks, appreciate it!

I've started buying dirty old TLRs with the intention of cleaning them up, servicing them and reselling. I'll probably try using them while I'm at it

>>4432242
>Yashica Mat 124(G) better price, nice contrasty lens
People who say this literally have no idea what a good lense looks like, yashica glass is dogshit. Ditto for Lubitel.
>Mamiya C220/C330
Again, anyone who has used one of these would never recommend it, an absurdly stupid camera to use for anything but the lols.
It's the same argument I made for leicas in the /fgt/.
The Rolleis are in fact the best cameras of their type and if you must shoot a tlr for whatever harebrained reason then that's the one; they are fully depreciated so buy one at whatever dumb price they are, shoot it until reality sets in and you'll probably sell it for the same or more than you paid when you're done. But anyone who actually wants their photos to turn out correctly has been using SLRs since the fucking 1960's, get with the program.

>>4432388
Can you actually back that up. I think you're just making things up

The best I can do is Flexaret

>>4432411
>no, post again, with more effort, for my amusement
The ca, distortion and vignette is plainly visible in thumbnails of yashica photos because it's a cheap, undersized, poorly coated tessar copy.
The Rollei's zeiss planar has been the archetype for every normal slr prime since it came out, up to the present day.

>>4432195
Yashica G is what you want.

>>4432242
I owned the 124G and I can say forget about it, the camera feels cheap and build/image quality pales in comparison to Rolleicords at the same price point. Prices have inflated ever since Youtubers touted it as a Rolleiflex alternative.

The Mamiya's are bulky and don't really fit any particular niche. Anyone who wanted interchangeable lenses would just go with an SLR, instead of a TLR that forgoes the attributes of being small and light in the first place.

>>4432388
>lense

>>4432190 (OP)
Because Kievs are cheaper, also shoot squares, have nice lenses and I like that mine says 88 on the front

>>4432562
>"i like that mine says 88"
>soviet camera

I bought a dirty Seagull we'll see how it goes. Also so any of you think 127 film tlrs are worth messing around with?

>>4432658
The film choices are limited but could be fun. Personally I'd just roll with a 120 though. A 35mm tlr would be fun though.

>>4432658
there are no dead formats if you aren't lazy.

>>4432777
I've seen you post this like 3 times now are you long in 127 film? Do you own 90% of the 127 film market or what's going on bro

>>4432780
there is no 127 film market hoss, you gotta make it yourself, hence the box cutter contraption.

>>4432782
That's not true it's just expensive

>>4432785
filmforclassics is just doing the cutting of a roll of 120 for you, they don't actually make 127 film per se.

>>4432795
well there's like 3 brands that do it and Rollei offer one roll in 127. That's something of a market
