With this combination, a sensor measures the light reflected from the film surface during exposure. Modern TTL flash metering also presents no difficulties for the 2.8 FX using the Rollei SCA 356 adapter and an automatic flash unit on the SCA 300 system.
Exposure balance is obtained by the follow-up principle, with aperture or speed priority. The center-weighted integral metering characteristic is decidedly practical. Color LED indicators in the viewfinder show “under/over” exposure in half stops. With the special Rollei HFT coating, this lens provides great resolution, excellent contrast and outstanding color brilliance. The Planar 80mm f/2.8 lens is a top-of-the-line lens design and features very small curvature of the image field and very high color correction. Other features include film speed adjustment of 25-6400 ISO, cable release socket, lockable shutter release and flash hot shoe with center and control contacts for dedicated operation with any flash units using the SCA 300 System. In addition, the camera features a fold-away crank that moves the film with a quick swinging motion, simultaneously cocking the shutter and advancing the frame counter – but still allowing multiple exposures. Modern TTL exposure metering and flash metering at the film surface provide the ideal combination of tradition and progress. Its lightweight and ease of handling is an advantage when you want to be at the ready for spontaneous photo situations where ranging focal length is not required. The extremely quiet shutter makes it ideal for every situation where discretion is required. The 2.8 FX can be used as a companion camera to your automatic camera. The larger format also ensures superior resolution for details which is also valuable during slide projection. The large bright image in the ground-glass focusing screen gives the photographer the feeling of being part of the scene and a greater chance of realizing his/her creative ideas. The tiring “against-the-eye” viewfinder has been done away with and with it the uncertain feeling that some details could have been missed in the small image field. It allows part of the image to be subsequently enlarged in a horizontal or vertical format without any need to have the orientation of the picture fixed right from the start. Many photographers prefer the 6×6 format. The result is the Rolleiflex 2.8 FX the classic twin-lens design with the exposure features of a modern automatic Rolleiflex camera. This is why twin-lens reflex camera enthusiasts and top professionals have repeatedly asked Rollei to continue this classic camera design – but with all the added advantages of modern technology. Wherever some event occurred that was to decide the course of history, someone was capturing it on film using a Rollei. The Rolleiflex was to have a decisive influence on the history of photography during the ensuing decades. When first introduced in 1929, this style of camera was a sensation and the principle behind it was a real stroke of genius. One of these is undoubtedly the twin-lens Rolleiflex for 6圆cm. Rollei’s legendary twin-lens reflex camera with an 80 mm Planar f/2.8 HFT lens comes with protective lens cap, carrying strap and size III filter bayonet. The well-proven carrying strap eyelets of earlier models have been re-introduced. The logo on the front of the camera is the same which adorned Rolleiflex cameras of the 1930s. Chrome plated edges on the back add to the camera’s sophisticated & elegant appearance. The camera is covered with brown alligator embossed calf’s leather. The major difference between the previous 2.8GX camera and the 2.8FX is mostly cosmetic.
There is a magnifier in the finder for even better focus control. This finder show the image and most of the time there will be a split-image or other focusing aid. The primary method of viewing and focus is done through a waist-level finder. On cameras that have flash connectors, (x sync), the flash will synchronize at all shutter speeds. The cameras are very quiet in operation due to no mirror movement and the fact that they use internal shutters. An accessory item for some models would allow the use of 35mm film as well. Early models may have knob advance and separate cocking of the shutter.Ī Twin-Lens Camera is a medium format camera that uses 120 or 220 roll film. Using the prism puts the image back to a normal view. Most camera used a crank to advance the film and cock the shutter. Using the waist-level, the image is reversed.
These finders are very helpful for aiming at moving objects. Cameras such as Rolleiflex, have optional Prism Finders that could be purchased separately.
