    Rolleicord and Rolleiflex cameras in the digital camera world

    Comparison of the two cameras and a discussion of using them in a digital camera world

    Yes it is, and the results are going to be great: just compose it, expose it and don't shake the camera, and you will have a mini image worth framing and matting. they look great in close places like the kitchen or a hallway or a desktop.

    Omega auto wind watches are among the finest ever made. Most mens Omega automatics from the '60's and early 70"s had great mainsprings, even better than the new ones. congrats on owning a most excelent wristwatch.

    Canon DSLR vs Rolleicord Part One

    The same mountain view shot on both cameras at the same time is compared with both images being enlarged to "gallery size" or 30x40 inches, 75x100 cm

    @tristambeow

    It's a simple calculation based on dots per inch and loosely relating that to pixels: a 24 x 36 mm negative is 0.945 inches x 1.473 inches. scanning at 4000 dpi, as good as my Epson 4990 will do, gives a file that is 3780 x 5892 dpi. The multiplication gives 22 megapixels or at ...
