[Leica] TLRs

I know what you mean about tessars. I have 3 Rollei TLR's. None a Tessar, 
although I'd like to have one. I have a Rollei 35 with a tessar. 

I use a 2.8 Xenotar C. I had Harry Fleenor CLA it two years ago. I picked up 
a mint F some years back. It came with a bunch of extra stuff. Even a sheet 
film holder. The F works great but I use it sparingly. I don't want to ding 
it up.   

It's getting more and more difficult to find 120 over the counter. Don't 
know your schedule but you could order film from Freestyle and have it there 
when you arrive.  

I like Efke IR820 120. It's expensive, but I don't shoot that much. I use a 
46mm IR filter that I bought for my Leicas.  It fits snugly inside a round 
B3 lens hood I have. For normal shooting it's TX.

There's something about a Rollei TLR. Here's a photo of the F.

No doubt, no doubt.

Over Christmas I am picking up a Rollei TLR at my mother's. It was
donated, a little broke and I had it repaired and sent to her so I
woudn't have to mess with overseas postage and what-not. Remains to be
seen if I can pick up some 120 film in Western Springs ('burb of
Chicago), but we'll see. Hope so.

An older model, with a Tessar. I've always wanted a Tessar I could rely on.
