The
Shneider Rolliflex 6000 Series
In
medium format the Rolleiflex 6003 and Rolleiflex 6008 use
lenses from Schneider-Kreuznach which offer capabilities not
available from Zeiss lenses. Your wide format enlargements
will look considerably better if you used professional equipment
to take the original photograph.
During
the 30 years that I photographed ancient Maya pyramids and palaces
deep in the rain forests of remote areas of Guatemala and Belize,
I always wished I had the lenses made by Schneider-Kreuznach
for the Rolleiflex 6008 medium format camera.
But
when I was 21 years old I had bought myself a Hasselblad,
and went on to buy several more (I currently own a SuperWide
C and two Hasselblad EL/M cameras plus plenty of Zeiss lenses).
Every
time I peruse the Rollei Fototechic catalog, however, I note
lenses made by Schneider which are not available from Zeiss
for the Hasselblad.
Overall
you can outfit yourself for full professional quality with
a Rolleiflex 6008 intergral/E or advanced hobby photography
with a Rolleiflex 6003.
