Alpaca Photos




My favorite camera, my Rolleiflex 3.5f, is a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, the film from this lovely camera has of late been blotchy. It seems like a development problem but it only happens with the Rolleiflex. It happens when I develop the film myself and it happens when I pay a professional to do it. It is otherwise a great camera. The lens is as sharp as they come. I would like to get it serviced. Maybe it can be fixed. I was showing my negatives to another photo professor. A few minutes later he gave me his Rolleiflex. He gave it to me for keeps. I tested it. The shutter is stuck. It is going to need servicing too. Happily, my Rollei collection has doubled. Two broken cameras - top of the line broken cameras.
