I've been sniffing around better glass but I have to see where I'm going with this. I used to be into photography many years ago and I let it go. Now I'm back so we'll see what happens. Believe it or not it was doing the reviews here that got me going again.

Anybody here a member of the Canon Digital forum (www.photography-on-the.net)?

A few hairline scratches here and there, but otherwise in very good condition!

Bought this little gem, brand new, 32 years ago this week.


( heck, most of you youngsters weren't even born yet ! )

A bit of history on the Rollei 35 -- (from the Web)

The most exciting project on Heinz Waaske´s drawing board was a miniature 35mm format camera. It was to become a resounding success, but not under the Wirgin name. Heinz Waaske had already tried to persuade his boss to produce this camera, and he had even made a model. But Henry Wirgin did not take the bit in his teeth. Perhaps the fiasco with the Edixa Electronica was too recent in his memory. Leitz in Wetzlar was presented with the idea, but refused politely. ​

Heinz Waaske had more luck with Franke & Heidecke in Braunschweig. Rolleiflex sales, which had been outstanding, were by this time on a downward trend and the company apparently lacked a replacement. Henry Waaske´s invention must have seemed like a gift from heaven. Today everyone knows how popular the little Rollei 35 became.​

In 1965 Heinz Waaske resigned from Wirgin and moved to Braunschweig. He stayed with Franke & Heidecke till 1978, after which he started up his own design workshop.

He resolved problems for Minox and others.
In 1995, the gifted camera-designer died at 71 years of age.

:wow: it looks like it's in very good condition. I bet it's worth more now than you paid for it.:naughty:

BTW, my favorite point and shoot is a Nikon, the COOLPIX S10. Its unconventional enough that people bought so few it was discontinued, but it does the most important part of any camera, in a way no other compact does: the lens. Over a third of the body volume and even more of the mass is devoted to glass. And the swivel design means no waiting while the motor drones away to retract it:

When all else fails, read the manual. That's what got me to reading the Bible.

as a youngster i had it pretty much sussed out, now i have decided to go over the various settings and see what gives me the best result, and its clear to me, that having the shakes doesnt help, lol, so im off to get a tripod...

If you're using slow lenses and/or shooting in low light, then a tripod is a good solution unless you can afford Image Stablized len$e$. I have a Manfroto, simular to this one:

it works pretty good for small/light gear and is easy to carry and affordable.

Nice to see those Rollei cams... My dad used to work for Rollei a couple of decades ago. Maybe thats where my love for photography came from....

I'll post my gear list later

 

[will]

This is an interesting thread, Just one observation - in the 34 posts, there are only 5 camera related pictures. All the others are lists of the equipment, not that there is anything wrong with that...

 

[Burgess]

. . . . and classic Rollei cameras seem to be leading the list !







PS: yes, i have one of their great TLR's also.

Here is my active Camera Equipment:

Digital Still:

• Kodak Easyshare CX7300 Point and Shoot 3.2 Megapixel, bought off a friend in 2006 for $20
• Palm Centro Integrated Camera 1.3 Megapixel, Not used for anything except a quick snapshot.

Film Still:

• Canon Canonet 28 Rangefinder, I got it a a flea market for $5, still on the first roll of film, just want to make sure everything works right.

Analog Video:

• JVC Videomovie GR-65U, I got it at a Goodwill for about $30 but the piece that drives the zoom is bad so I have to use the lever to zoom.

• Palm Centro Integrated camera, used only for real quick video grabs.

That covers all of my active equipment.
