The main problem I have is focusing the thing. Not too difficult in bright light, but more difficult when it's gloomy. How Doisneau used one for street shots I'll never know (actually skill and talent probably had something to do with it ;-). I have a $30 replacement screen on it's way from Hong Kong thanks to eBay, that may be an improvement. I relied on the built in selenium meter for all of these, it seems accurate - for b&w at least :-) Steve On 18/12/06 00:56, "Steve Barbour" <kididdoc@cox.net> wrote: > > On Dec 17, 2006, at 4:11 PM, Steve Unsworth wrote: > >> I bought a Rolleiflex a couple of weeks ago.
