Minox 35

Minox 35 GT lens cover opened.

In 1974 Minox introduced a very compact (101 mm x 62 mm x 35 mm), glass fibre reinforced Makrolon bodied 35 mm camera designed by Professor Fischer of Vienna University: the Minox EL, the first one in Minox 35 mm series. These compact cameras featured a drawbridge style lens cover which when lowered brought forward a 35 mm focal length f/2.8 four element 3 group Tessar type Minotar/Minoxar lens with between the lens leaf shutter and diaphram, a center positioned viewfinder, two stroke film winder lever and a film rewind knob. The camera offered aperture priority exposure with the option of manual settings, among them the Minox 35ML and Minox M.D.C offer program mode (P mode) exposure in addition to aperture priority. The 35 mm/2.8 Minotar/Minoxar lens was very sharp, with low distortion, the camera's metering-system's capability to produce excellent results especially under low-light conditions was outstanding - using exposure times of up to two minutes. Minox 35 camera back can be removed for loading or unloading film. All model has a 10 sec timer switch and a 2x backlit exposure switch. When the timer is engaged, a flashing LED indicates the timer counter is counting down, for the last two sec, the flash interval shortened.

The History

The company's founders Paul Franke and Reinhold Heidecke wanted to build cameras which were perfect and easy to handle. They wanted to make photography not only accessible to the professional photographer but to the wide range of amateurs. In 1929, the result was the legendary "twin-lens" which became the standard tool of professional photographers and the dream of every amateur enthusiast.

The "twin-lens" formed the beginning of a long line of product developments. Others followed and among them the launch of the Rollei 35 in 1966, the Rollei SL 66 with built-in bellow, the first electronically controlled medium format camera Rolleiflex SLX, the 35 mm SLR camera SL 2000F with interchangeable magazines or the dissolve projectors which still are unique.

The philosophy behind these successful products has remained the driving force through which Rollei has repeatedly succeeded in achieving solutions which are geared to the wishes of the users and frequently set an example for entire camera generations.

After a long and changing history, Rollei presents itself today as the specialist for high quality and demanding photographic tasks, in particular for the recording and projection of pictures for the professional photographer and the upper end of the amateur sector.

Always on the assumption that products bearing the name Rollei represent something special, they must be of high optical and mechanical precision, be easy to handle and to operate, and be durable and of lasting value.

In this context, new products for digital imaging and close-range photogrammetry open up new fields of applications.

Rollei B35// 1.簡介

我必須承認我一開始是看到硬攝影論壇上看到Rollei B35 拍的黑白
深深的吸引我
覺得一定要來收藏一台Rollei 此生才不枉
(還好看到的萊卡買不起)

開始吧

1.觀景窗
2.光電池測光區域
3.鏡頭縮回按鈕
4.鏡頭
光電池測光區域，拍照時千外別遮住，要不然測光會不準，雖然話說沒遮住也不一定準，不過可以利用調整ISO值得方式來補償，另外一提光電池測光就不用裝電池了，原理就像是太陽能電子計算機，有光才會動作。
鏡頭縮回按鈕在後面會解釋到，別急∼

1.過片轉盤
2.觀景窗
Rollei 35全系列都是左手過片，和一般傳統的相機不依樣，非常特別
順帶一提，這台是MADE IN GERMANY!!
B35又德國製是相當稀少的，大部分常看到德製的都是35

1.過片轉盤
2.測光表
3.快門鍵
4.計數器
測光表的部份會另外獨立出來解說

1.測距
2.光圈
3.快門
光圈和快門是可以依照測光的結果來調整(請看"測光表")
如果本身有測光觀念或是有測光表的話，可以直接調整來拍照

1.閃燈熱靴
2.退片鈕
3.背蓋轉盤
4.回片轉軸
~~我忘記背蓋轉盤轉哪邊才是正確的，不是這邊當然是另一邊，多試看看吧~~
順時針是關起，逆時針是打開

Rollei B35// 3.測光系統

今天要挑戰用一張圖片解釋B35的測光
而且圖片沒辦法標示，一標示就背遮住了
主角登場

1.首先先調整ISO值，也就是相機上DIN/ASA那個地方(圓圈部份)
2.調整和底片一樣的曝光值，用你的指甲扣中間銀色的轉盤（有齒輪鋸齒狀的那圈）
3.接著指針就會依照光源不同跑動(目前是跑到16的地方)
4.轉動外圍的轉盤，把你要的光圈對準到白色指針的地方(目前是F16)
5.最後轉盤的箭頭指到125的地方，這就是用光圈決定的快門

上圖得數據是：底片設定是DIN33(對應到ISO是50度),光圈設定f16,快門設定125

接著轉動相機上光圈快門的設定

1.測距
2.光圈
3.快門

Rollei // Rollei 上片教學

因為Rollei 35系列的上片實在是∼∼∼全部一樣
所以就在這邊一次解決吧

打開背蓋的開關後把背蓋往下拉就可以打開了
當然裝片的時候也是反方向操作

1.首先把底片的片頭往左邊拉，重點是卡進去過片軸的細縫中
2.然後把底片的尺孔對好紅圈的地方
3.此時我會用右手輕輕的壓住鐵片(圖片上左手壓住的地方)，然後過片一張在確定尺孔使不是有對準，如給沒有對準就蓋上背蓋的話，保證你的底片會被捲斷

裝好後在把背蓋裝上就是上片完成了

*****************************************

LED的慢快門只到1/30再來就是B快門
所以這中間的速度就得要自己憑感覺了，35s的話則到1/2秒
所以如果在低光源的環境，35s就好用許多。

35s的鏡頭表現
當然要比LED優秀，而且機器的質感上真的很好，另外的優點
也是在鏡頭的部份，35s的鏡頭有2.8的大光圈，LED則是3.5
35s的口徑是30mm如果要接其他的濾鏡會比較容易找到
LED的24mm真的不太好找。

原味的Rollei 35那當然就是要找像35, 35s,或35T
如果你想拍的方便一點，35TE, 35TE，LED都是不錯的選擇（都是LED測光顯示）

Rollei XF 35是RF
但他是不同的設計
所以不能夠算是Rollei 35系列的成員

LED的測光，輕按快門就可以測光
35, 35s 35t則是在有光線的環境下指針就會有反應
所以平常最好收在沒有光線的環境
以免浪費電池

Rollei 35 速拍皮套DIY

自從買了Rollei 35之後，深感原廠的拉鍊型皮套極為不便。沒辦法像單眼相機一樣，掛在脖子上。當然，Rollei原廠也有出硬式皮套(見Tyke's Blog的原廠硬式皮套解說) 之外，eBay或者是一些拍賣網站也可見到他人製的速拍皮套。但不管原廠還是他人製皮套...價格實在是有一點給他...貴，一個都要台幣3000以上。但如果網友們是只有一台的話，我建議就直接買別人做的。除非是像本人一樣有很多台，然後想要3~4個皮套的話，自己買道具等等的錢算下來後，是比較划算的。
目前總共做了3個，一個給自己，另外的給老婆跟老妹。但自己留下來的比較讚，因為...用了Artisan&Artist的背帶~!哈哈~!Ok，下面就是圖片。
