Tele-Rolleiflex question for experienced users.

lecarp · Jun 3, 2022

In your experience do these images from flickr made with the tele-roller appear to be accurate representations of images with the aperture wide open?
Do you believe a rolleinar was used, or in your opinion are the digitally manipulated?
Thanks for your input.

For my eyes these photographs were taken with the Rolleiflex 135 mm Sonnar 1:4 TLR. You should ask Vladimir himself.

Thank you, I would ask Vladimir except I am not a flickr member.

That is what I suspected, I am considering one myself (Tele-Rollei) and am trying to get a feel for the rendering produced.
Again, thank you for your efforts in contacting Vladimir.

Rolleinar can be used on 2.8 rolleiflexes as well. Lots of fun and opportunities with the 80mm focal length can be had.

The Tele offers a neutral image. No funk, no swirl, just an accurate image. It’s a much needed focal length to isolate subjects and this is why I got one as the 80/75mm F.L. can Introduce too much visual pollution in the frame. The square fornat is strict and i never crop, so the tele was a must in my case.

I have a tele-rollei, which part of the world do you live in? I'm north of Toronto, Canada.
