Which Rolleiflex/cord? - Photo.net Medium Format Forum



  • 1. Also consider a Minolta Autocord...a III or a IV. Very nice and the coated Rokkor lens is awesome. Look for one in as-new condition.



    2. Also consider a Yashica-Mat 124 with a coated Yashinon Lens: Extraordinarily sharp. The 124G is very good, but is overpriced on the used market, and the Yashica Mat 124 is all metal. The 124G has too much plastic and the winding crank is noisy. I currently have a Yashica 635 (similar to a Yashica D) with a 3 element Yashikor lens...no image sharpness problems at all. You might want to consider a Yashica D or 635.

Film Alternatives for Polaroid Rollfilm Cameras

  • A single 4x5 sheet fits perfectly in the
    film channel of Polaroid cameras designed for 40-series films,
    and is easy to load/unload in a darkroom or changing bag.
    Of course, you'll only get to use a 3.25" x 4.25" section of
    the 4x5 sheet, but, hey, it's cheaper than even an old Speed Graphic.
    Process the film in the dark in trays, and you won't even need
    to buy a film processing tank. For printing, you could do
    contact prints, or, if you've at least got an enlarger capable
    of 6x7 cm medium format, you could cut the negs to fit, but
    you'd lose part of the reason for having the big negatives in
    the first place. Or you could shoot color transparency film, and
    mount the slides in a clear lucite 'box' frame-- these can look
    really nice if you can get them in front of some diffuse lighting.
  • if you've never used 4x5 film before, you
    might be confused how to tell which side is the emlusion side when
    handling it in the dark. 4x5 film has identification notches near one
    corner of the film. If you're holding the camera horizontally with
    the back completely open, the notches should be near the upper
    right-hand corner along the right-hand edge of the film.

Blurberati Blog » Look no further for full-bleed page specs

  • full bleed image (with no text) onto the front cover in booksmart
  • Hi Melissa - Just click on the front cover page in BookSmart and choose a
    full-bleed layout from any of cover layouts. Image areas are greyed out in
    BookSmart and when grey runs to all sides of the page, that’s a bleed if you
    desire. Text is optional so even though a layout shows text containers, adding
    text is optional.
