Smile for the camera, not because you’re having your picture taken, because it’s a bloody nice camera worth smiling for.
Put out of your mind for a minute the tedium of hasty tourist snaps, restaurant selfies and your father’s unthinkingly composed family portraits. The Rolleiflex represents everything that is possible in a photograph, the rush of life as it flits past the lens; it also represents the élan of the auteur and the elegance of the connoisseur: thus, it elevates both photograph and photographer.
Perhaps you have a friend with keen creative vision; perhaps you wish to commemorate a picturesque scene enjoyed together; perhaps they just like cool looking objects: write them a letter.
"Rolleiflex"
Quotation
A good photograph is knowing where to stand.
- Ansel Adams
Rolleiflex Fact
The Rolleiflex was founded by Reinhold Heidecke and Paul Franke in 1920. Legend maintains that during the Great War, Heidecke was peering over the top of a war trench with a periscope when he thought of an idea for a camera that used the same principle of two separate but identical lenses- one for taking photos and one for viewing them. This idea would later go on to become the Rollei Twin-Lens Reflex system (TLR).
