There’s another close connection going on here…
I’ve attached a Rolleinar 2 close-up lens kit to the Minolta Autocord to get this shot.
This is the first test image with the combination. The buttery-smooth bokeh of the Rokkor f/3.5 is impressive, given the concomitant sharpness in the in-focus areas. It’s one of the reasons I sought out the Autocord in the first place. It’s rare to find such sharp-but-smooth rendering — often you only get to have one of these attributes in a lens. The only other lenses I know of that are as well balanced are the Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH and the Mamiya RZ 110/2.8.

Nice. 120TLR is special stuff for sure.
Don’t go playing about with a RolleiWide or TeleRollei. The sickness has no cure. You have been warned.
BTW – How are you scanning 120?
Plustek 120. Thanks for warning me about wide and tele Rolleis 😉
I must say, however, for TLR photography I’m set with this Autocord.
