AW: [Rollei] 3.5E species follow-up

["keller.schaefer" <keller.schaefer]

I think it does make sense. I have the flat glass fitted in a Tele
Rolleiflex and have put some 20 or 30 rolls of film through it, over the
years. I have had a couple of film flatness issues on other Rolleiflexes
(without the flat glass) and I obviously never had one on the Tele.
I agree that in an ideal situation there probably is no visible difference
(especially with a 75/80 mm focal length) but even films that have been
sitting in the camera for a while will be FLAT behind a flat glass, which
they will be not behind air...

I also agree that dirt could accumulate between glass and film - it did not
happen to me though.

As for dust, the glass is an improvement, isn't it? With the same amount of
dust particles in the camera I would rather have them on the glass than
directly on the film.

The flat glass plate option doesn't make sense. I have
read two years ago in the web a test made to this
glass with a Tele Rollei at early 60's  (I don't
remember the URL, but it was posted into a mailing
group  from a French magazin). The opinion was that
there wasn't differences between the photographs taken
with or without the glass and BTW the glass was a new
surface on the film directly exposed to dirt,
scratchs, etcetera,etcetera.
