Rollei SLX

[Eric Rose]

A friend gave me a minty Rollei SLX with 80mm lens. Plus two battery packs (which I am currently getting repacked). Can't wait to get this puppy out shooting! I've regretted selling my Blad setup. Now I have to find a decent 50mm lens for the Rollei at the very least. Not sure if they ever made a 120mm.

Cool camera, Eric. I had a later incarnation of this camera, a 6006, and currently have a 6003src1000.

Congrats. Here's a good page on the SLX: http://www.rolleiclub.com/thedarkroom/?p=2816

Makro Planar 120. Nice lens. I got one with my SLX and kept it when I upgraded to 6008i. Still works on the newer camera.

Thanks for the link! I am hoping this camera will fire me up for film photography again. I must admit I haven't shot any film for a very long time. My poor darkroom has become lonely as well.

The 150mm Schneider is very nice in addition to the 80mm and 50mm. (That's my set up with the 6008i). But if you need Macro, the 120mm is your thing.
