Description
Close up of a vintage camera made by Rollei, model Rolleiflex 3.5 E. This is my own working camera and a number of images in my "film" gallery were shot with this camera. (basically all the square ones) These cameras are of the the twin lens design. The bottom lens is the so called taking lens and the top one the so called viewing lens, through which the image is previewed and composed. This particular camera was manufactured in 1958. the 3.5 E was the first Rolleiflex with a built in light meter. This meter however was not coupled as with modern cameras. Shutter speed and aperture were still independent. Rolleiflex cameras were expensive and top of the line in their days (still are really) Many famous artists used these cameras such as Vivian Meier, Diane Arbus, Richard Avalon and many others
