Anyone here that (already) owns a Rolleiflex FT?

[SoulSurround]

Hello everybody,

As rollei doesn't allow me to "test" their latest model (the tele-rolleiflex), I was wondering whether anyone here already bought one. I am quite interested to see some results of the new 135mm tele-xenar lens.
If anyone knows somebody who owns this camera I would be very interested to get in touch with that person.

Thanks!

No, not me unfortunately. But if you intend to have a closer look at one prior to buying I would talk to these guys http://www.fotopartner.de (I am not in any way related to them). They are near Hamburg, with chance not too far from where you live in NL.

Thanks for the tip, but they are quite far from me (over 4 hours drive... which is a lot for Dutch measures ;-)... and I doubt they will let me run a roll through a camera. It's not only how it handles, but also how the lens exposes my negatives. But thanks again!

There is some information in this thread:

Thanks Brac, but Sanders got most information on the Rolleiflex FT from me ;-).

Mostly just bumping this.
Well has anyone bought one?

I got one. Always thought it was the ideal camera. Why didn't Rollei make one in the 80ies? Anyway, I have one and truly enjoy using it. The lens is very sharp and the camera is extremely convenient.
