The Modern Rolleiflex and Rolleicord Guide

Article number 10220217

This handbook belongs to the Modern Camera Guide Series and focuses on practical use of Rolleiflex and Rolleicord twin-lens reflex cameras popular in the early 1950s. It explains in a structured, instructional manner how to operate these medium-format cameras, covering core photographic controls such as shutter settings, aperture selection, focusing techniques, exposure calculation, and film loading and handling. Beyond basic operation, the book also addresses accessories, flash usage, lighting conditions, and different types of film, including black-and-white and color materials. A significant portion is devoted to applied photographic techniques such as composition, portrait work, close-ups, copying, and specialized uses like medical or technical photography. It combines camera-specific guidance with general photographic instruction typical of mid-century manuals aimed at both enthusiasts and serious amateur photographers.
