Hello all, posted my intro thread a few months ago and have not posted anything since. Well, i just had a roll through my 2.8E3 and Tele-Rollei, out of 24 i had 21 good pictures. I found that it takes me a while to shoot with the Rollei's even with only twelve on a roll, it took me about three months to finish 24 pictures! I guess it is not bad to go slow. After all this is only my third roll of 120 through the Tele and fourth through the 2.8E3.

Nice pics. The lens is brutally sharp. I've bought a Rollei Automat IV two years ago and the lens is the sharp also.

For some reason, I can understand exactly what you are doing with those shots. What I call 'journal' photography, the kind of images I look back on later and see how well they fit what was going on at that time. Very nice.

Well i do not want to call these latest pictures test shots, but that is kind of what they are. The first roll i shot with each camera were test shots, and those were rolls that i shot in a few minutes. When i look at the first roll from each camera and look at the third and fourth rolls, i see massive improvement. These latest ones i really slowed down, thought about, stopped down to see what these lenses could really do (each picture was taken at f/5.6 or slower) and tried to make each pic the best. I still have six rolls of the xp2 400 to use up and two Fuji pro400H color rolls to use up. So i cant wait to shoot some more and see how i can improve on these good pictures. I have two weddings to attend in July, and i am thinking of using the Rollei's, which should be pretty fun.

Thank you everyone for looking!
