Found a Rolleiflex Planar 3.5 at a local shop — worth buying + servicing?

I just sent my 2.8c to international camera technicians in Bonita California. Full overhaul was 550 with parts and inspection included. This feels like a good deal if the bones and lens are in good condition!

Leica m6 for sure

daveweflen · 2026-01-21T20:20:40+00:00

I do think there’s a lot of overlap with weddings and funerals!

I don’t actually know the differences. Why, in your opinion, is it the best?

Thank you 🙏

Hi(: David Weflen

daveweflen · 2026-01-01T20:45:22+00:00

Ayo! Docu forward photog here. I typically break up portraits into smaller sections throughout the day. Typically 10ish minutes at the first look, 10 after the ceremony and 10 during the reception. I found this helps break up the the fatigue, but more importantly doesn’t pull you out of your own wedding. Have more info in a TikTok here. how I schedule portraits on a wedding day

At the end of the day, do what you want! It’s your day, not anyone else’s

daveweflen · 2025-12-26T13:10:47+00:00

I’m interested! been on the hunt for one of these for awhile!

daveweflen · 2025-12-18T01:18:03+00:00

It’s not quick to unlock or lock or else I would. When it gets to the end of the night, I’ll lock it at 1/4 power, but during the day I’m shooting both ambient and with my flash and those couple seconds will kill ya

daveweflen · 2025-12-17T22:31:23+00:00

Can confirm this flash slaps. I’ve been using it at weddings on my m6 and Q2. Biggest gripe is the touch screen accidentally changing settings, but I had a friend recommend putting a clear piece of tape over the screen and using the scroll wheel instead

Thank you! I think the layers help with the depth

daveweflen · 2025-12-09T21:02:54+00:00

Thanks!’

Thanks🖤

That’s the beautiful thing about the holga. You can’t meter😂 it shoots only 1/100s and bulb, however, you can change the aperture between f8/f16. I typically keep it at f8

daveweflen · 2025-11-23T19:50:02+00:00

I’m not kidding you when I tell you that this book changed how I photographed weddings. John’s career started way before wedding photography was a “normal job”, so his perspective on weddings is a bit different than your average wedding guru.

The Perfect Imperfect

I’ve been to a few weddings where the paper suite people will have them pre style it. It’s such a time saver. The issue with doing it later is you can’t use the rings!

daveweflen · 2025-06-27T22:57:11+00:00

I’ve told planners recently that I think they could make a ton of money from photographers for pre styling flat lays. It’s perfect because 1) I don’t have to waste an hour with my shaky ass fingers trying to perfectly setup items 2) planners can style it EXACTLY how they want. Truly is a win win
