    telephoto lenses for rolleiflex/cord yashicamat 124, 24-$50.00 shipped conusa

    just like the title says--I got it cause I thought it would be cool but never use it because the close focus distance changes from the 3.5' to like 6' or so...so you can't get a decent close up face portrait with it--for close ups I use rolleinars and this is way too big anyways--includes nifty leather case!!!!!! conusa shipping included only--don't want to do overseas sorry

    email me please: johnielvis@aol.com
    --much better than pm

    I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say your occupation is not in sales. I have always wanted a set of these, but you talked me out of it.

    This "Sun" lens set did vignette really badly with my Rolleicord V (cannot comment on other Rollei versions). With my Yashicamat and my friends Yashica LM it worked very well.

    TRUTH in advertising--most people say -- honesty is ALWAYS the best policy....

    actually, I GLAD that I talked that guy out of buying it--he would have been disappointed as I was. Why spread the misery just to make money--we're SUPPOSED to be a community here, right? All banding together for a COMMON good? It's like a REQUIREMENT to point out the drawbacks of things. Others should learn from our experiences.

    So there's a separate lens that also mounts to the viewing lens? Is that the smaller lens in the second and third photos?

    EDIT: Quick trip to google answered that question as "yes."

    hey now-that being said--they DO get you close enough for body and head portrait. They DO work.

    hey ya hey ha! you KNOW you want to try these out, just like I did. You want to take a pic of a viscious dog or a rabid homeless dude, you'll need to be FARTHER .... OR if you want to shoot something from accross the street and not IN the street where you get hit by a car. It's a SAFETY item!
