[Leica] More with the Rolleiflex

[Ted Grant]

Hi Crew,
When we have a run on techie stuff like this digital or film it reminds me that over all my years of world happy snapping I was generally a failure at the extra photo details so many of you lads & ladies paid attention to on equipment and stuff.
My shooting/equipment knowledge/ and so many other techie things so many of you are "super masters in knowledge and shooting!" And processing! 
I WAS always rarely interested with much of the technical stuff and was far more interested in the "CONTENT/capturing" of the image. But then I sort of considered myself the luckiest shooter due to the "GREAT SPIRIT" riding on my shoulder giving me the poke just when to trip the shutter! Or length of time in souping film.
Generally if what I saw with my one good eye, I never gave the moment a second thought about what film or lens? My camera went click and sometimes I captured a cool image for publishing.
The unfortunate thing as I become in another week or two 89 years old, :-( oh yes but young at heart! :-) I do wish I knew far more of the technical side of photography and computers, then I'd feel far more comfortable using the computer in pulling the qualities in producing prints.
Oh well, I figure I was lucky and loved every second of my 65 years length of time "Happy Snapping" the world over, the many books published and assignments for so many clients.
And the Many friends of the "LUG CREW" I will never be able to thank you for the years of assistance and wonderful friendship, better still? When we've had the magical moments of face to face greetings!
CHEERS! love you folks one and all!! :-)

Though a very nicely scanned medium format neg might make remind of how less great full frame digital is.
If not a 6x6 than certainly a 6x9 or 4x5.
I'm just saying that full frame digital seems like a holy grail which seems much better than just putting a D in front of a 35mm SLR.
But acreage is acreage. Digital or film. The informat gathered by a Zeiss medium format lens onto modern emultions with informeaed processing might be hard to beat unless you're also going so called medium format in digital as well.

    ​I did finally sell off my Rollei GX a few years ago, but I still cannot
    part with my SL66, which was my main film camera for a number of years.​  I
    still have all the 120 film processing equipment and darkroom, but I doubt
    I'll ever go back.  Nonetheless, if nostalgia becomes too strong, I just
    might dust it off, if for no other reason than to remind myself how
    excellent today's top digital "full frame 35mm" cameras are, particularly
    with top Leica glass on them.
