R: [Rollei] Me and my Rollei16...

["Guido Cova" <guido.cova]

Hi Laurence.
As you will read this evening on the RUG, I have had an easy life with the
Rollei 16: its loading is just like that of a 35mm camera, and you can live
without cartridges.
I don't know the Minolta 16, but I own several russian Kiev30, Vega and
Kiev303 cameras, which are said to be copies of the Minolta, and use a
special double cartridge with a supplying and a receiving roll. As I have
the cartridges, I never thougth to use them without.
But you are making me curious: did you try it? Which results? I will try:
this is a challenge I can't skip.
Of course, I will report on it.
Ciao
Guido
