I have a Rolleiflex 2.8E. It is definitely easier to use than the Mamyaflex
C33 I used years ago in college. Still it slows me down and requires a
different approach to photography than the OMs. I don't have a prism
viewfinder for it as it does not have a removable top as do the 2.8E2 and
2.8F. I have the film (usually Portra 160) processed at a local pro lab and
I am fortunate that it is only a few miles away. The results are gorgeous.
I have started to have the 35MM Portra processed there also.
One thing I have hit on is actually obvious when you stop to think about it.
I have started to use Portra 160NC in both the OMs and the Rollei. In
general the exposure thought process is the same and I am learning the limits
of the film. For me it frees up the more creative side of me as the
technical side vis a vis exposure is just about the same in either format.
Just my two cents worth.
