Rollei 6006?

[dcrowephoto]

Hi all! First post here, trying to obtain some information :-)

I recently inherited a Rollei 6006 kit that is in excellent condition from my wife's grandfather. He travelled the world taking pictures back in the film days (100,000 slides to prove it!) and this was one of the last cameras he bought - but he rarely used it.

I don't know anything about this style of camera and was hoping somebody could help me out with setting it up, where to buy film/get it processed, etc, and how much of a value it might have?

Thanks so much!

What lens does yours have?

Its a Rollei 2.8 80mm, but I also have a teleconvertor and something that is 34mm....not exactly sure what it is. Looks like some form of extender.

For some reason it won't let me post pictures, but here's the link to my camera from flickr.

Yes, the 34mm thing appears to be an extension, to allow closer focus than otherwise, with the 80mm.

(As per this guys post, in a Flickr group...)

Maybe he would be ok with you messaging him, as well as getting input from this forum (?)

Owners manual here.

It uses 120 and 220 film which can be purchased from most film sources. If you have none locally you can buy film here.

Processing can also be done locally or there are many mail-in labs which you can find via searching the web

Dcrowephoto - have you made any progress?

Sorry for the delay...I haven't taken time to purchase film and figure out how to use it/process the film yet. I'm kindof of the mind to just sell the camera because I don't know how much I may actually use the camera.

From what I've seen online of pictures taken with the camera, it is an amazing camera - I just don't see myself having much use for it with all the digital cameras available now.
