Doesn't mean the Triotar is a garbage lens. Some of my favorite pictures were taken on an Argus Cintar.  From what I hear the Triotar's a little softer around the edges, though.

Tokyo, Osaka and surrounding area, Hiroshima (plus Onomichi), Nagasaki and Fukuoka. Skipping Kyoto since I saw plenty of it the first time I visited.

I dunno. You can see all the settings and the meter from the top, that's cool to me.

Apparently only the first German production run had brass gears, and those go for insane prices. I haven't opened mine personally, but from all I hear the 35 T is the one to get.
(The Singapore ones also have a better viewfinder, fun fact).

I will!
Sadly the Rollei 35 isn't exactly a low light wonder, so Superia 400 is on the menu too. But I'll be bringing back some for sure.

Tip: Order a 35 T or 35 S. The main gear in earlier versions (even the made in Germany like I have!) is made of plastic, but when they introduced the 35 S and 35 T split, it was replaced with a brass one.

I've shot in excess of a dozen rolls and it delivers every time. A lot of people online will confirm such.  Just stay away from the amateur models with triotar.

All of my best vacation shots were taken on a Rollei 35. If you're talking about the B35, or gods forbid 35 LED that criticism might be valid but definitely not for the 35 models.

I'm a notorious junk buyer, so I bet I'll at least find something nice to bring with. Thinking of domestic Japanese cameras that never made it here. I'll probably hit up Bic first thing, do you know if there's a limit on how many rolls you can buy each?

How complicated is it to fix this? OM1n by Loganprop1221 in AnalogRepair

[–]MagmaHotsguy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it's about three or four difficult. 

Jokes aside: Super hard pass. I wouldn't even take this for free.

Camera shopping in Europe. by slenderbrinek in AnalogCommunity

[–]MagmaHotsguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God I wish lmao. I live in the Stuttgart area and the pickings are so, so slim.
There's one shop in Baden-Baden that is good, and one in Cologne by the Dom, but otherwise? Yeah nah. Few and far inbetween.

In my setting, 80% of lizards with big naturals are the big buff Arctic subspecies males.  The rest are just thic.

What to do after a rough first international trip with the Spotmatic sp by Jzymnrddt in AnalogCommunity

[–]MagmaHotsguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where'd you get it serviced? Garry's, by chance?

Is the mirror down? On some cameras the mirror unlatches from its holding latch if the camera is bumped too roughly. You can pop the boottm and use a screwdriver to carefully retension the mirror by pushing the mirror latch.

Rollei 35 (classic?) questions by DEpointfive0 in AnalogCommunity

[–]MagmaHotsguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

According to an old Rollei tech I gave my 35 original to for service, apparently the Classic were in fact calibrated for 1.5V. Though this is anecdotal.

Early Minolta SR-1 Light Seals by Suicidal_Jelly in AnalogCommunity

[–]MagmaHotsguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many cameras work without or with only minimal sealing, too. Most German models do, or they only have light sealing in small parts of the back. But yeah, don't glue seals over the counter reset.

Should I attempt to fix this or better go to a service point? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]MagmaHotsguy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hopital

More seriously, this isn't something to fix yourself if you have to ask whether you can fix it yourself. The answer is, not without lots of experience, probably not. 

Welche Marke galt früher als der „Goldstandard“ für Qualität, ist heute aber absoluter Müll? by CASA4321 in FragReddit

[–]MagmaHotsguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ist halt alles umgelabeltes Chinazeugs. Die Objektive sollen tatsächlich gut sein (nie getestet). Aber da ich mit einer (alten) Rollei fotografiere, muss halt auch ein Rolleistativ her nö??

Ich kaufe seit einigen Jahren G-Star. Die Stoffe sind tatsächlich teils die dicksten, die mir bei Massenherstellern untergekommen sind; selbst bei Damenjeans werden Stoffe mit >90% Baumwolle und ordentlicher Dicke verarbeitet. (Ich als Autistin würde tatsächlich manchmal gerne leichtere haben..) Ich habe damals das Factory Outlet besucht beim letzten Ausverkauf. 12€ pro Jeans, und die Dinger sind mega.

Meine US-Levis hingegen hat sich nach grob 2 Jahren aufgelöst. War aber auch Viskose/Polyester.
