The wide angle rolleiflex rocks.

post your wide angle TLR shots? Mamiyas are fine

I just watched the Tim Hetherington documentary, can't imagine shooting medium format in a war zone... The guy was made of special stuff. Still, it's had me pretty inspired to pick up the TLR again.

Great photographs!

The second and third shot have a lot of lens flare in them , were you using a hood ?

Nice photos! Keep it up!

I've never used a hood with the camera, just a uv filter any time I take it out. Does anyone know if you can use the hood and filter together, stacked? I think the flare works in the first of the two images. the second one I could do without

One of conventions of photography is to not use a filter with a hood ( it may be the UV filter that is causing the flare ) I suggest you buy a hood and try it.

Thinking of the hood, with the Rolleiwide, the hood isn't very deep, as it would start to intrude into the field of view of the viewing lens. Your best bet is to keep the sun out of the frame if at all possible. But get the hood for sure- I use one on my standard Rolleis and it makes a big difference, especially on the vintage cameras.

It may also be the UV filter that's contributing to the flare also especially if the mount is an old fashioned chrome one.

 

[jojoman2]

Protecting the lens is more of a priority for me than reducing flare. I think the Rollei uv filter I have is a newer one--or at least it was mint when I got it. I'll just have to be careful about shooting into the sun if I don't want flare

Any particular reason for not using a hood and filter together?

some very fine, gutsy images of your own; nice rapport with the subjects, giving us entry into a series of little worlds...

Rolliewide is one of my favorite cameras. Amazingly sharp, terrific signature, and until I shot with it I never really clicked with wide angle much (at least with say 24-28mm using my 35mm cameras).

Yes, it's because it can can cause vignetting.http://www.4photos.de/test/Zeintar-50mm1.2Prototype-Vignetting.jpg I don't have a Rollei wide camera but I do have a Mamiya C330F and the 55mm f4.5 wide angle lens which tends to flare quite badly without the correct Mamiya hood http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTgzWDgyMw==/z/4CQAAOSwPcVVoc9r/$_1.JPG
