An Incredibly diverse image making machine !

Leading ergonomic design has always been the domain of Rollei, ever since the TLR days. So why should this camera be any different - and it's not! The body just makes sense. Everything is where it should be and you can figure all the controls out quickly so you rarely need to take your eye off of the viewscreen, allowing you to concentrate on getting the right image.

The focus assist is spot-on and the auto-winder makes for active photography that can be spontaneous, something I rarely had when I used a Hasselblad - since sold and not really missed after using this camera for 3 months.

The camera is big and heavy but is very well balanced. I am not afraid to put it in a backpack and use it as the perfect travel photography companion. Now if I add a few more lenses, then trip planning will become more important as there is a limit to how much weight you can pack up a mountain.
