Re: AW: [Rollei] 3.5E species follow-up

[Carlos Manuel Freaza <cmfreaza]

I respect your experience about the flat glass, I
didn't use it, I only wrote on the test that I read.
However, if Rollei deleted this "improvement", they
had their reasons.
The French magazin added that the glass often required
cleaning,accumulated dirt, moisture and the light had
another crystal surface (with distortion risks) to
pierce before it impress the film.-
All the best
