That particular camera was made during the war, in 1945, and those lenses are legendary. It just has a certain look to it that I love. I own Rolleiflexs with both, and for most things prefer the Tessar. If I shot color, I might be tempted by the Planars, but for B/W I prefer the contrast of the Tessars.Ĭlick to expand.Each have their own look. My short answer is that t depends what you like, and great photos can be made with Planars or Tessars. I think, if I were in your position, I would buy the cleanest,most affordable, one I could find & have Harry service it. For any musicians in the crowd, it's like choosing an acoustic guitar because it is loud, without regard to its tonal attributes.then again I sold a very sharp Apo-Sironar S so I could buy some Dagors. A new Maxwell screen & some love from Harry Fleenor, & i'd say it is probably better than it was in '58. When I'm not using my 5x7, my current favorite camera both handheld & on a tripod is a Rolleiflex T 3.5 Tessar from 1958. What doesn't show in the equation.is the character of the lens. Stopped down both the Planars and Tessars are sharp. I've owned 2.8 Planar, 3.5 Planar Rolleiflex Fs.
