It was during my usual online research when I stumbled across the Rolleiflex SL66 E camera when actually looking to buy a Hasselblad 500C. My latest purchase! Here is a short Rolleiflex SL66 review explaining why I bought the camera instead of a Hasselblad and why it is possibly the best Rolleiflex / any make camera! (I love it!) Scroll down for lots of Rolleiflex portrait examples. IT IS NOT A GOOD THING.Rolleiflex SL66 Review (Rollei SL66E tilt camera) + YouTube + Tilt Portraits THAT FUNGUS WILL ETCH THE GLASS AND CAUSE A LOSS OF SHARPNESS AND A LOSS OF CLARITY. UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS CLEARLY TO BE SEEN SOME PROBLEM WITH THE TAKING LENS. THAT CAMERA YOU HAVE IS THE 2.8F, WITH ZEISS PLANAR LENS. THERE IS A PLACE TO PLUG IN A FLASH CORD ON THE BOTTOM (FRONT) AND THERE IS A LEVER TO SET THE SELF TIMER ON THE TOP (FRONT) THEN AFTER EVERY EXPOSURE YOU WIND THE WINDER ARM FORWARD TO ADVANCE THE FILM AND THEN YOU MUST RETURN THE WINDER ARM TO THE TOP TO COCK THE SHUTTER. AFTER YOU PUT THE ROLL IN THE CAMERA AND CLOSE THE BACK THE WINDER ARM SHOULD WIND UNTIL THE FILM IS READY FOR THE FIRST EXPOSURE. OR IT WON'T WORK.ĪS YOU CRANK THE WINDER ARM ON THE SIDE AFTER THE LAST EXPOSURE THE WINDER WINDS UP THE FILM. PUT THE FILM IN THE BOTTOM COMPARTMENT AND THREAD IT UNDER THE FIRST ROLLER THEN OVER THE NEXT TWO ROLLERS. HOLDING THE CAMERA SO THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PICTURE ON THE TOP (WITH THE TOP OPEN) THE SHUTTER BUTTON WILL BE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT FRONT WHERE YOU CAN PUSH IT WITH YOUR RIGHT INDEX FINGER. IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOCK THE SHUTTER SO IT CAN'T BE PUSHED IN. LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE CAMERA WITH THE LENSES FACING YOU THE SHUTTER BUTTON IS ON THE BOTTOM LEFT. Told you the questions are stupid.Thank you very much!! lainni New here Posts: 2 Joined: Sat 10:18 pm Location: Australia, NSW, EppingīATTERIES ARE NOT NECESSARY, THE SHUTTER USES A SPRING AND THE METER USES A CELL
Rolleiflex 2.8 youtube manual#
Nevertheless, the video i found was filmed in silence.what will happen when the film is properly loaded? What are the signs to look for?ĥ) To continue with the last question, what will happen when the roll of flim's finished?Ħ) one more question on films - do I need to manually roll the film with the handle?ħ) There are some bottoms/gears on the camera that I have no idea what they are for.Does anyone have/or know where to find a manual that describes each part/symbol of the camera? Please confirm this for me?Ģ) I don't know where to click/press to take photos? How do i release the shutter?Ĥ) I've found some film loading videos on youtube, so this shouldn't be a problem. I would appreciate it VERY MUCH if anyone can help me with these noob questions:ġ) I was told by my grandma that this camera doesn't need batteries.

Most of the information that I'd found on this forum is on the specs and the more technical aspects of the rollei - But my questions are the most fundamental/ stupid questions. My grandma can't remember it either (can't blame her, it's been 50 years!).įrom using my Cannon G10, I've got to know the basics of the relationship between shutter speed and the F number.

The problem is, I know nothing about the operation of this camera.

The camera belongs to my 80-year-old grandma, and she's very happy that I'd found it! I am interested in photography myself, so I would very much like it to be used again! Someone on another forum told me it's a Rolleiflex 2.8, please correct me if it's wrong. I'd never heard of a Rollei before yesterday.). I was fascinated by its style and apparent sophistication, so I googled it, and found this website (pardon my ignorance. I found a vintage Rolleiflex 2.8 in the family storage yesterday.
