[Leica] More with the Rolleiflex

[Ted Grant]

AND ALL US ROLLIE SHOOTERS REMEMBER REAL PHOTOGRAPHY WITH A REAL 0NE LENS CAMERA.
Well OK two lenses
1/ lens to look through and one to expose the film and give us fabulous photos!   :-)
AAAAaaaahhhhh yes! That was a fantastic camera that allowed us to capture incredible images time after time.
And in so many cases the subjects never knew we took their pictures!
Dang sometimes I miss them! Not much, but a little sometimes!! :-)
cheers,
Dr.ted grant O.C.

And the film has 3.5 x more acreage. And is square.
And the shutter is more quiet.

    The nice things about using Rollies are:
    1. You look down and that's not so invasive.
    2. It's such a quirky looking camera and by the time your puzzled subjects
    figure you out, you got your shot already
    3. Subjects find the Rollie such a beauty that they gladly pose for you.
