RE: [Rollei] 'Must Haves' for any TLR user?

["Fox, Robert" <RFox >]

Herb,

You are correct -- no B&W polarizer for that price -- the polarizer is
$92.  Since used ones are hard to find in excellent condition, and I
figure I'll always have at least one camera that uses Bay 1 filters,
it's worth the cost for a lifetime of use, and the polarizer is an
essential filter.

R.J, how did you get your polarizer filter for such a low price? The Bay
1 ones I see on B&H are all over $90.-

Thanks!
Herb

Peter K reminded me that a polarizing filter is indeed a 'must have'
that I currently *don't have* in Bay 1! Therefore, I've given up looking
for Rollei Bay 1 filters from the many used sources and have decided to
buy a brand new batch of genuine B&W Bay 1 filters from B&H. The filters
cost $22 to $35 depending on which you buy. I figure 4-5 should be
plenty to start. This way I no longer will worry about the filter age,
'used condition', or whether the coating is still good.

Peter K's Must Haves for a TLR:

    1) Film (everyone left this off heir list?)
    2) Rolleipol
    3) Lenscap

Everything else is an extra.

I was just thinking how nice it might be to have a pistol grip, and/or a
prism on my 3.5f, and I came to realize i have no accessories for my
Rollei.  What are some things that you RUG'ers use and love?
