Hi Ian - I don't know enough about these camera to offer any meaningful advice. I do know that the Rolleicord has a great reputation (evident on ebay last I checked) and if you can get a functioning one for cheap I don't see how you could go wrong. They are easy to take along. The medium format would suit your sensibilities, I think. One thing that strikes me everytime I pick one with a straight viewfinder is how nice it is to compose. The mirror image throws me a little every time but it is also a good tool for disconnecting an overly analytic approach to putting the scene together.

Charming shot of a lovely doll? yours? Did you make her ;-)? Sweet baby?
About your picture ? a fine moment Stefan but the image appears flat and dark on my monitor.
I took the liberty and enclose the changes ? a quick strategy among others? ( I really hope you dont mind)
1 duplicate layer
2 image / adjustment / highlight
3 lower opacity to desired level
4 adjust levels
5 again duplicate layer and apply careful sharpening
6 flatten the image

Oh a yashicamat!
I'm testing the medium format waters and at the moment seem to have a choice between a rolliecord with I assume a triotar lens going v. cheap or a diacord l which sounds really nice with a tessar comparable to that on the yashica it seems.
A cheaprollei or a nice by all reports but unsung ricoh... where would you go Stephan, any experience with a triotar lens?

Hi Stefan,
this is a perfect example for the charm of the children. My theory is that adults have about 2-3 face gestures. Children have about 2-3 k(!). And you managed to capture a very special one. A mixture of shyness, tiredness and laugh. nice one.
best wishes,
Thilo

Hi Stefan,
Speaking of sky... The darker sky background does work well here. It does create a little more of a darker mood over-all than the white sky in my similar shot.

Thanks Linda - "Internal organs" was my working title for this one :-) And I agree that it is especially apparent for the ones with a light background...

Wow this is really nice Stefan, the lighting and colors are beautiful, the clarity excellent, and the repeating shapes and form make a wonderful abstract. Talk about imaginations, the right side almost reminds me of the intestines..(sorry, nurse here) a great experiment, creative and beautiful..I also like the posts in the comments...interesting how just changing the color adds a whole new look, the warm toned one definitely looks like the intestines, hahaha. great job Stefan...Linda

Not quite up to speed on the marine biology thing I guess. The association is indeed a strong one. Even colors seem to be related :-)
