This used to be a place where nuance and a recognition of people having differing requirements and intentions had a place. No more. Last post for a long time to come.

Look at the last picture, corner bottom right. You can say all you want but there is no human eye that can adapt to this easily, it’s a very frustrating experience to look through this screen. Takes a lot of guesswork and imagination to see the whole image.
I can understand anyone not liking the rolleiflex experience, after trying to shoot with this. An absolute nightmare. No, I am not tender when it comes to those screens.
This is quite revealing: all and any other screen beats the disgust out of the rolleicord/rolleiflex ground glass screens. And those screens were the standard all the way until the removable top series (F, T, tele, wise, rolleicord vb...). Quite appaling.
The rolleicord vb screen is much better, in your example, but do not forget: it is a removable top model as already specified before.
The removable top models have a much improved screen, but barely equal to any competition.
And don’t be a baby. So what if the ground glass rolleiflex/cord screens are disgusting as brilliantly proven by your examples.. No need to be a baby about it. It’s not like you and your mother are manufacturing them...
