This video shows the case I use and the items that form the foundation of this remarkable medium format system. I explain why I selected the items and how I use them. Included are special adapters that allow me to use view camera lenses on the camera as well as standard 77mm threaded filters on all the lenses.

I have a brown leather case for the Rollie SL 66, A lens adaptor like the one you have it’s all metal and I also have a 67 mm filter adaptor to Rollei Bayonet lens. I also have a body cap and a rear lens cap as well.😊

Hi Mr. Massey, Its a pleasure to watch this camera in a youtube video. as you might realize its my favorite one. I do not have one at the moment but I'm learning the PRO's and Cons of it. Could you please talk a little bit more about your experince with the camera? And Also I didn't know that there are leaf shutter lenses for this system. Thank you so much for what you do. Best,

Thank you for the kind words. Yes it is a brilliant system that I frequently use. I will be doing more videos abut it and the many accessories. I'm currently in the process of drilling one of the Rollei lens plates that will allow me to use my view camera lenses on this camera. What a great option!

Hello Richard,I just discovered your Chanel,.. and have to say I am enjoying your video’s very much😊 I have the Bronica Gs1 camera.

@richardmasseyphotography Месяц назад

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I haven't used the Bronica but I understand it is an excellent camera.

Looks like you’re missing the grip for the SL which makes that camera a joy to use. It’s funny but I still have the leather case and that lens adapter for the SL which I didn’t sell with my camera. I also had the actual Rollei case which housed the 50,150 and extra back. It was a joy to use but nice adaptation of the Hassy back. That kit brings back good memories. I loved working with that camera. Regards Gerry

Thanks for the comment. Do you still have some Rollei gear you want to sell?

Hey Richard! Hope all is well. Happy to have been a small part of why this video was made. I also have the 250 and was shocking at how light it is, but then I checked the datasheet and saw the optical formula. :) I've gotten a mostly-working copy since we last spoke, and am slowly working through the myriad of issues it had to justify the amazingly low price. At the moment I'm wrangling with an offset infinity set point; at zero bellows extension the lenses aren't reaching infinity but it's only obvious at f/2.8. I've adjusted that and will do another test roll this morning to see if I've nailed it - fingers crossed! Could I ask what tripod plate that is? I want something larger for a firmer grip and that one looks interesting.

Good day, my friend. So nice to hear from you. How are things across the pond? I'm delighted to hear you are making progress with the SL-66. It is such an amazing piece of kit. I hope you grow to love it as much as I do. That quick-release plate is one of the best I have found. As you may have noticed, it is wide and sturdy. I have one base plate that stays on my main tripod and I have a top plate for each of my cameras. It even works well with my 4x5s. Here is what you need...from eBay. I hope this helps. www.ebay.com/itm/176202321206?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110025%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPOSITELISTINGS%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20220405142716%26meid%3Dde1c4a63e5c0406aa1e5ee72b564ae01%26pid%3D101506%26rk%3D7%26rkt%3D25%26sd%3D265587311684%26itm%3D176202321206%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4247815%26algv%3DAlgoIndex5SimRanker%26brand%3DManfrotto&_trksid=p4247815.c101506.m1851

@@richardmasseyphotography Things are good, thank you! My day job is busy and the weather is grey and horrible which is slowing down a project of mine, but fingers crossed we get some more reliable weekend sun soon. I was luckily able to readjust the infinity focus and things seem fine now. It focuses to maybe 300-400 m rather than true infinity but that is more than sufficient; at even f/3.3 infinity comes into focus so that will suffice for me. It's definitely a camera I need to work with, rather than blindly use/control, but I'm enjoying it. With each week I'm getting it closer to working perfectly and it shouldn't be too long now. Thanks for the link - I'll keep an eye out for something like it a bit closer to home. Looking forward to your next video; talk soon. :)

Thanks again for your support, I look forward to seeing some of the images taken with your SL-66.@@Shaka1277

Thank you for this video. As owner of SL66SE it's interesting to compare your case with my own backpack. Recently I bought Distagon 40/4. It's wider than 50/4, but much, much bigger and havier, and need different filters. One question: Don't you use a lens hood at all? As for me, the Rollei hood is a main reason to use Rollei filter, it could be use simultaneously.

Sadly I had the exact same case all the filters 45degree prism finder, 250,50,80,150,120 extra back and two bodies. I say sadly because some crack heads broke into my place and stole almost all of it. Had insurance but no where near enough to replace it. I did manage it keep one camera a 120 lens and a back they didn't find it. The sad thing is they probably off loaded it at a pawn shop and not realizing what they had probably got next to nothing for it.

@richardmasseyphotography 8 часов назад

Sorry to hear that but good to know you are still in the game with that amazing 120 lens! Nice to hear from you.

@ming-weiliu5853 6 месяцев назад

Hi RICHARD, thanks for sharing the setup in the case. i wonder where is the light meter you have it placed? As my Hasselblad requires almost the similar space as my carrying out for shooting tasks. In addition, sometimes if in the case more cameras were carried with, in particular, going abroad that comes to exceeding carry-on case of the dimension and weight limitations, do you have a solution suggested? instead of putting the equipments in check-in luggage. This maybe a common problem that medium-format camera users always encounter with, hope to hear from your point. thanks!

@dewydddrieux1393 Месяц назад

Hi Richard, have you ever got your SL66's mirror block (not returning after shutter release and the camera gets into complete blocage)? Is that something that's recurrent? I'm looking for a permanent fix for that. Thanks!

@SnowmansApartment Месяц назад

Are you aware of anything you should not do, to prevent damaging the mechanism of the SL66? The manual seems a little complicated, but after holding the camera in my hands i feel that it‘s actually not such a pain to use. I‘m just worried because i hear a lot of stories about the SL66 being very easy to jam up/break, and difficult to repair.. A guide on how to properly use it, and what to avoid, would be very useful..
