RolleiClub.com have just re-launched sl66.com, a resource site for the Rollei SL66 6×6 medium format SLR camera system.
The site says:
The SL66 was and still is the only medium format camera combining five unique features:
- Built in bellows (5cm or 2″)
- Reverse mounting of the lens (retro)
- Tilting the lens up and down 8 degrees
- Completely mechanical design
- TTL metering with special hood SL66 (SL66 E and SL66SE have built in TTL metering)
I hadn’t heard of the system before today, but it looks interesting! A bit like the Fuji GX680, but a bit more flexible and a lot more friendly to handle (I haven’t shot one, but the Fujis are massive).
