ROLLEIFLEX 2.8 MANUAL FULL SIZE

It offers at approximately 2.5 times magnification of the entire ground gloss image, a still more precise means for focusing the camera. It is equipped with o swinging magnifier. The focusing hood, which is designed far one-hand operation is kept in both open and closed positions by spring tension. Since the Rolleiflex is equipped with a fast viewing lens and on optically prepared ground glass screen, the viewing image is extremely bright and clear and focusing can be done very critically. Both lenses, which are inflexibly coupled to each other by means of a sturdy common front plate, are thereby adjusted simultaneously a sharp viewing image therefore guarantees an equally sharp picture. This is accomplished by rotating the focusing knob. It is easy to straighten or level the camera by means of the lines on the ground glass screen.ДЄbove all, the ground glass screen provides the means for focusing the camera. The ground glass screen is ruled with a number of vertical and horizontal lines making it possible to detect errors, such as lines which converge but should be parallel or a slanting horizon, in time to notice and correct them.

This viewing image is visible at all times and every detail of composition and framing may be watched even during exposure.

The image forming rays are transmitted by the fully open viewing lens, projected on to the ground glass screen via the mirror and the result is a right-side-up ground glass image, in the full size of the original picture. Its special task is to make the focusing visible on the ground glass and to supply o control image essentially similar to that of the prospective picture. In the Rolleiflex two separate cameras are joined in a twin-camera with a common sturdy die-cast body: the bottom half is the taking-camera, in which the film is exposed, and the upper half is the viewing-camera, which is designed on the mirror-reflex principle.
