I did the same and saved the TLR over there.
I got rid of all my 6000 series gear when I had to take the same pix in 35
(Leica M, of course) and also in 6x6. I went to the darkroom and printed
almost the same shot in 35 and 6x6 negs of the same subject, same film,
processed together. Leica glass negs were better. That decided me to become
a polar guy. 35 and LF. No more medium grays.
But I have to say that Rollei TLR is a pleasure and I like to play with it a
lot. Also Rolleinars deliver some stuff I see Leica will not. But this is
other stuff.
