Topic: Never say never

[Karl]

I thought I'd never get another 35mm film camera. I've been through a few and still have a few, but for a lot of 35mm equivalent shots I use digital. Film use is medium format and, when time allows, large format. But there was always one that I regret not having after the back broke off it a few years ago.

The Rollei Prego 35AF.

It produced astonishing results, super sharp, great contrast. Fixed lens, well made, small and pocketable. It has very little attention compared to equivalent PAS compacts - Ricoh, Olympus, etc, - but from what I got out it, it looked every bit as good. I got one that ended to day on Ebay for just over £20

good find.
35mm is so underrated nowadays...

When I first read the title of your post, I thought you had spent good money to go see the Justin Bieber movie... and was wondering who in their right mind would go watch a piece of c*** like that

Francois..I do love tuning in just to read your intellectual remarks..and I so agree!!

"I be trying a chill
They be trying to side with the thrill
No pun intended
Was raised by the power of Will"

I have a hardware addiction and I really want lenses with elements 0 through 7. The price is prohibitive if you don't indulge in 35mm.

I'm still missing a Cooke triplet (been thinking about a BelOMO Vilia or various random AGFAs with an Apotar) and a 5-element lens, and my pinhole needs some finishing touches. Now that I have the Planar, the Cooke is really the one I'm pining for.
