(3) Rollei 35. To me, no wonder almost anything ...
The two Rollei 35, manufactured in Singapore and Germany, are apparently exactly the same
P ues as well I said, I buy the made in Singapore in perfect condition.
"R Azon? Well, seeing the price difference (at least 50% more made in Germany) and, above all, thinking
the great disappointments which act custom
usually bring, I decided it ...
S upuse that there would be no appreciable difference between the quality of both lens (made exactly the same and knowing whether in Singapore or really only rode were also produced, since, obviously, have stopped doing .)
S henever I've been very happy with the model built in Germany, has a superb lens. It was after a fault in the meter, I decided to buy this one, although manufactured in Singapore and therefore worst score, has the same lens and are virtually identical in appearance and mechanical as we have seen and commented
But, again got my finger on it. They are not alike ... A chemical you have pictures taken with both cameras in the same conditions and in the same reel Slide Which has more quality resolution?

lateral area of \u200b\u200bthe two frames. It should be borne in mind that the image on the right, had something more than density and thus to be clarified, slightly increases the grain. This difference in density can be due to less accuracy of the shutter speed to use (the oldest copy is German). There is dispute resolution in favor of the view of Singapore and this, far from being surprised, even as Germany's expected to be considerably older.
This shows, once again, that we should not trust appearances, the origin or manufacturer. Must be investigated., Here again it must be done continuously ... (*)

Central detail where appreciate some minor differences, but existing. (*)
E s clear that the mounted Tessar Rollei Singapore has more quality , so that the higher quality of the Rollei Germany, out of habit; custom, once again, has shown no good advice in this "business"!
M and wonder what reason there to over my life find "pufos" continuing like this?. I thought that with the advent of digital, they disappear but far from this, there are also so important. You have already seen some of my other technical pages
The usual. She is responsible ...
And I am a person who has no morals (at least the set) and I have a tendency to saltármelas the bullfighter, without giving anything for granted or acquaintance.
A fortunately in this case has reached a good conclusion extends to almost all things in life: The valuation difference of the two cameras, it's just a matter of habit even with quality resulting the theoretically inferior
A tending to my "non-custom" keep working, either, with my wonderful Rollei, whether in Singapore or Germany, attending to what really matters: the image
