Outstanding comfort for working in 6 x 6 medium format
The Fascination of the Professional 6 x 6 cm Medium Format
Whenever outstanding image quality and precise composition are the order of the day, professional photographers and discriminating amateurs everywhere have but one first choice: the 6 x 6 cm format. Like no other picture size, it offers maximum flexibility and creative leeway, from the actual shot right to the final print. And this applies equally to work in the studio and on location. The square format makes it unnecessary to change between vertical and horizontal orientation, and the viewfinder always shows a large, bright and upright image that is easy to view, be it with a collapsible finder hood, a magnifying hood or one of the
prism finders. Its creative margin moreover allows the 6 x 6 cm photographer to decide later whether vertical or horizontal format would be preferable, to crop the image as desired and to sectionally enlarge even small detail even from high-speed film. Not to mention the outstanding image quality of largescreen projection.

More Room for Good Ideas

6 x 6 the format for more creative leeway First of all, because of the larger image area. Comparing a 6 x 6 cm image with a 35mm slide, you will immediately notice that an area four times as big does offer a much wider creative margin. But also because the square is extremely versatile. It may be used full-size, as in the case of slide projection, but it is also ideal for subsequent editing because it lends itself to both horizontal and vertical cropping. In other words, 6 x 6 doesnt fence you in. Even holding the camera for the shot is the same every time. Neither will a change in posture distract your attention, nor will you be forced to assume an unnatural stance. Youll concentrate on only one thing: your subject. With a 6 x 6 camera, of course, there is no need to press your eye against the viewfinder just in case you might miss some important detail in the frame. On the large, bright focusing screen you can see your subject with both eyes. You feel like you are part of the scene and can put your imagination to work. You will see the final picture even before you press the shutter release. And that makes for better planning, improved control and greater creativity. Of course, you will also see the effect of the large 6 x 6 cm image in the final result. Detail resolution is superb and youll notice it in subsequent scans and enlargements. This alone makes extreme enlargements above all from high-speed film feasible. All that, finally, explains the breathtaking impact of 6 x 6 slide projection. Add to this the fact that the screen image is always full size, thus captivating the audiences attention even better.

Whether they are working in the studio or out on location, photographers need to be able to concentrate on composing their picture in the sure knowledge that they will achieve superb picture quality while enjoying the advantages of a pioneering 6 x 6 mediumformat system. Owners of a Rolleiflex 6008 AF can do just that. It is the worlds first autofocus single-lens reflex camera for the 6 x 6 medium format and can, if desired, perform all the key functions of focusing, exposure setting, film transport and flash switch-on fully automatically. Because it is so comfortable to use, the photographer can work fast and enjoy unlimited creative scope, free to concentrate entirely on realising his or her personal ideas. Needless to say, all the settings can also be made manually to enable the photographer to adjust to special situations or create special effects. Position of the AF module

As Rolleis top-of-the-range medium-format model, the Rolleiflex 6008 AF is fully integrated into the proven 6000 system. This means that the AF camera system can be used with all the existing lenses (including accessories) by means of the focus indicator even the SLX lenses from 1976. Rollei has consistently retained the system concept so that all photographers who already work with the 6000 system can benefit from every new development.

The fast autofocus system integrated in the Rolleiflex 6008 AF sets new standards in 6 x 6 medium-format photography. With its high focusing precision, it automatically ensures optimum image sharpness in all areas of photography, whether it be photo-journalism, portrait or fashion photography, landscapes or still lifes. By means of the AF selector button on the camera housing, all the autofocus modes can be selected or, if desired, the camera can be switched to manual focusing. True professional autofocus comfort for the demanding photographer.

Microprocessor-controlled AF system with three sensors in H-form In autofocus mode, the system is activated by slightly depressing the release button. The subject is metered by the three sensors arranged in the form of an H. All the image data needed for focusing are evaluated in fractions of a second, controlled by the microprocessor. The data are then exchanged in no time at all between the camera and the lens via the electronic interface. Each of the Rollei AF lenses has its own high-speed, precision-working ironless DC motor. A focus index in the illuminated LC finder display of the Rolleiflex 6008 AF indicates that the focusing process has been completed. Practical AF modes The various AF modes of the Rolleiflex 6008 AF make it possible for the photographer to adjust perfectly to the relevant shooting situation. sing (focus priority) In this mode, the shutter cannot be triggered until the camera is correctly focused and the focus index lights up in the finder.

Rolleiflex 6008 AF Rolleiflex 6008 integral2 Scope for more creativity with full range of outstanding features
The TTL exposure metering system in the Rolleiflex 6008 AF and 6008 integral2 is oriented to the stringent demands of professional photographers and ambitious amateur enthusiasts and leaves absolutely nothing to be desired as far as its possibilities and handling are concerned.
Centre-weighted multi-zone metering The practically oriented weighting of five metering areas ensures correct readings even in critical lighting conditions. The lower two thirds of the frame where the main subject is usu- ally located is given greater weight than the peripheral areas and the top third. This reliable and comfortable technique of multizone metering has rightfully become the standard metering mode for the great majority of subjects. And it is the only technique that offers the speed one would expect from automatic exposure control.
Spot metering Here, at normal focal length, the acceptance angle is only 3, equivalent to just 1% of the frame area. This allows pinpoint metering of important subject details, which can be a very helpful technique in extremely difficult lighting conditions such as strong backlighting of subjects against a bright or dark background. The metering area coincides with a circle of the splitimage range finder on the screen and is thus clearly defined. With off-centre subjects, all that needs to be done is to press the AE lock, recompose and press the shutter release. Multi-spot metering Whereas, in the centre-weighted multi-zone mode, the metering areas are fixed, and, in the spot mode, only a single reading is made, the multi-spot mode allows very fast checks on subject contrast. It is logical and easy to use. The exposure is matched precisely to

The metering cells are arranged behind the partly transparent mirror
the subject contrast on the basis of up to five selected spot readings. These are converted by the camera computer into an average for correct exposure and the result is displayed in the viewfinder. Using this method, it is easy to expose for the exposure latitude of the film or to achieve special effects. Finally, the resultant multi-spot measurement can also be stored via the AE lock button. Perfect control at a glance The newly developed illuminated LC control centre in the finder provides the photographer at all times with all the information he or she needs about the relevant exposure and camera data. When using the 4560 film magazine for the 4.5 x 6 format, vertical/horizontal format and the frame number are also displayed. The display can be switched off if desired.

With a multitude of practical functions and improved operating comfort, the new TTL flash-control system of the Rolleiflex 6008 AF and the 6008 Integral2 creates optimum conditions for perfectly exposed flash pictures. In combination with system flash units from Metz and the new SCA 3562 flash adapter, the TTL sensor integrated in the camera measures the amount of flash light reaching the film parallax-free and at the precise viewing angle. All the available shutter speeds up to 1/500 or 1/1000 s are flash-synchronised. This is a considerable advantage when working in daylight and or for filling in shadows and strong subject contrasts. A particularly attractive feature of these Rolleiflex cameras is additive flash exposure that is activated in conjunction with dedicated SCA flash units and the cameras autoflash system, ensuring even more balanced daylight flash pictures.
With an SCA-3562 flash adapter, the following data can be exchanged between camera and dedicated flash unit: The focal length of AF lenses for reflector control. The lens aperture and film speed for autosensor flash mode of flash unit. Reading of flash exposure compensation with suitable flash units. Control of AF preflash (only 6008 AF).

In conjunction with a dedicated SCA-3562 adapter, the camera offers the following flash modes: Programmed AE autoflash Shutter-priority AE autoflash Aperture-priority AE autoflash Automatic fill flash (compensating and additive) Flash bracketing

TTL flash light metering in the photo studio Studio photographers do not need to dispense with the accustomed comfort of TTL flash metering when working indoors. The camera takes an advance reading without mirror pre-lock and without a metering back to check the flash output and, where necessary, adjust the aperture.
Where flash units are used that are not normally equipped for the TTL technique, the camera features a special mode that enables the metering and exposure adjustment to be undertaken through the lens. Apart from this, the flash discharge time can be placed at the beginning or end of the shutter-open time to achieve special effects.
The advanced TTL flash metering technique naturally takes into account all multiplying factors for filters, extension tubes or bellows units during the metering process. The LC display in the viewfinder helps keep track of the different flash modes.

Professional power supply
It is the same size as the NiCad battery and is inserted in its place into the battery compartment of the Rolleiflex 6008. All kinds of different power sources can now be connected to it, significantly extending the possibilities for using the camera. These include the standard charger, the Rollei 12V plug-in mains unit, the Rollei battery box for lithium batteries, the mobile power station from Einhell or a car cigarette lighter. The power interface needs 12 18V DC with at least 800 mA.
Power supply for professional needs The power supply of the Rolleiflex 6008 AF and 6008 integral2 has been tailored to the needs of its users. The cameras electronics and motors are powered by a rechargeable high-capacity sintered-plate NiCad battery. It is a professional solution for a very high shooting capacity, ease of handling and maximum reliability, even in the cold. At normal room temperature, the special battery has enough power for around 200 shots. A warning lamp lights up in the camera finder when there is enough power left for about 20 exposures. If the power drops below a certain level, all the camera modes are switched off. Where a higher capacity is needed for bigger assignments, interchangeable batteries are an ideal way to solve the power problem.

Even under very cold conditions, the Rolleiflex 6008 keeps on working. Through the special extension lead, the battery can be kept close to the body or in a pocket. The camera comes with a rapid charger with an automatic charge stop. It can fully charge the battery outside the camera in an hour. It then switches automatically from rapid charge to trickle charge. If time is tight, the charging process can be interrupted after only 15 minutes, and this will provide enough power for about 50 shots. If there is no plug nearby, the charger can also be powered from the car battery via the cigarette lighter using a 12V accessory cable. The Rollei PowerInterface adds to the powers-supply options.

Rolleiflex 6008 AF Rolleiflex 6008 integral2 Versatile exposure control extends your options
At the end of the exposure reading we have a combination of shutter speed and aperture. The Rolleiflex 6008 AF and 6008 integral2 provide an optimum selection of programs for linking these two components together. Three automatic exposure modes are available for the purpose: Shutter-priority AE, aperturepriority AE and programmed AE as well as metered manual. But there is more to this camera than reliable exposure modes alone. The perfect integration of controls and functional components provides a level of handling ease that is quite unique in medium-format system cameras. Aperture priority AE The impact of a picture often depends on the careful use of depth of field. While a small stop will give over- all sharpness from near to far, a wide aperture isolates the main subject to make it sharp against a blurred back- ground. In this mode, you set the aperture (in 1/3 increments!) on the aperture ring, and turn the shutter speed ring to A for automatic. The camera then automatically sets the correct exposure time. Shutter speed priority AE This is the right exposure program for moving objects. You can decide how you want to capture the subjects movement: Either razor-sharp with a short shutter speed (frozen) or inten- tionally blurred with a long shutter time to make the motion more obvious. You can choose a shutter speed from its wide range (also in 1/3 increments!). The new electronics concept You then turn the aperture ring to A (for auto) and the cameras microprocessor will control the exposure Program AE by setting an appropriate f-stop. If you set both the aperture ring and the shutter speed dial to A, you are in program AE mode. The camera auto- matically selects a combination of speed and aperture to suit the lighting conditions. The program is able to keep the shutter speed at 1/125 s or faster (freely selectable with Rollei MasterWare) for shake-free hand-held exposures. It is the ideal exposure mode for fast shooting when there is no time for lengthy adjustments. The aperture and shutter speed are displayed in the finder so you have all the information immediately to hand. System flash interface and correction switch for flash fill-in

Metered manual You can, of course, take over and set the aperture and shutter speed exactly the way you want, whether for special effects (e.g. under or overexposure) or to cope with difficult lighting conditions. A row of LED dots in the finder tells you whether the exposure setting matches the meter reading and how far away you are from the correct setting.
Exposure correction Finally, there is the possibility of correcting the exposure by overriding the film speed input. This is a fast way of over or underexposing by a specific amount. The scale has click stops in 1/3 intervals and ranges from +2 to -4 2/3 exposure values. It is also a convenient means of extending the film speed range to ISO 6/9 at the lower end and ISO 16,000/53 at the upper end. A reminder symbol appears in the finder display when a correction has been set.

AE lock With the Memo or AE lock button, the metered exposure data can be stored. This is particularly useful with very high subject contrast, for spot readings followed by a change of frame and for recording individual readings during multi-spot metering. Because the exposure value has been stored, the aperture/shutter speed combination can be subsequently changed without any problem.
The wide range of exposure-control options gives full control over difficult lighting situations and delicate color balancing.
Automatic bracketing There are some subjects for which it is difficult to judge the right exposure. In such cases, professionals prefer to bracket their exposures. In the S position of the master dial, the camera will automatically expose a series of three frames with metered exposure plus +2/3 and -2/3 EV or 1/3 and -1/3 EV. + In conjunction with the exposure correction or the MasterWare, the bracketing range can also be fixed differently to run, for example, only upwards from the Rugged mirror drive with pneumatic mirror braking system correct exposure, as might by desirable when shooting against the light.
Multiple exposures To superimpose several exposures on one frame, the camera merely needs to be set to ME (Multi Expo- sure). This disengages the film advance so that several shots can be overlapped on one frame. Another possibility for multiple exposure is to electronically suppress the film transport with the reflex mirror remaining flipped up. Although it is not possible to consult the finder between the individual exposures, it has the advantage of a higher shooting frequency.
Motorised film transport saves time and increases effectiveness

1 Autofocus fast and reliable, Photos: Susesch Bayat 2 Autobracketing mode, Photos: Studio Kollmorgen The ideal combination of autofocus (6008 AF), TTL metering and motorised film transport makes the Rolleiflex 6008-models the fastest system cameras for 6 x 6 medium format. Instant readiness after every exposure and the option of continuous shooting with a remarkable two frames per second ensure high efficiency in routine professional use. Between shots, the camera automatically checks and, if necessary, corrects the exposure. This guarantees that each and every picture of a series will be perfectly exposed even if the light should change suddenly. But motorised film transport is just as important for single shots tp prevent the photographers concentration from becoming distracted: There is no need to change the grip on the camera, no need to change position, so the frame stays as it was. The camera remains perfectly steady, and is ready to shoot again and again. This saves time and makes film change even faster and easier. Once loaded, the film automatically winds on to frame 1, ready to shoot. And at the end of the roll it winds back again, also automatically, leaving the film insert ready for the next roll. The end of the film is displayed in the finder.

Fast film and magazine change in any situation
All the magazines of the Rolleiflex 6000 system work with an interchangeable film insert. Several preloaded inserts will ensure virtually uninterrupted working. Photographers who constantly change between colour and black-and-white or use films of different speeds can choose between interchangeable 6 x 6/120, 6 x 6/220 and the rotatable 4560 magazine. All of them have a number of additional practical functions: The integral laminar drawslide in the magazine reduces the changeover time to a matter of seconds. It also prevents all the problems that come with conventional magazine drawslides. The shift bar is coupled with a lock to prevent unintentional exposure on the drawslide and inadvertent removal of the magazine when the film gate is still partly open. Warning displays in the finder indicate whether the drawslide is closed or not completely open, and when the film is ended. The integrated autowinding system automatically advances the film to frame 1 and rewinds it again at the end of the film. There is no quicker and safer way of changing the film.
Interchangeable 6 x 6 magazines with preloadable film inserts The film speed is comfortably set on the magazine. Magazine change takes a matter of seconds thanks to the laminar drawslide integrated in the magazine. There is no more hassle searching for separate drawslides. Preloadable film inserts make it possible to work fast and change films easily and safely. All interchangeable magazines of the System 6000 can be used. This also guarantees tremendous flexibility and a safe investment in the future: 6 x 6/120 magazines for 12 exposures and 6 x 6/ 220 for 24 exposures. 4560 magazine for 120/220 roll films with 16/32 exposures. Can be switched over from horizontal to vertical format. Instant picture magazine for 10 exposures 6 x 6 on 8.5 x 10.8 cm instant picture pack film.

The Rollei magazine 4560 This magazine, designed specifically for the 4.5 x 6 format, can be easily turned round on the camera for horizontal or vertical format shots. The view through the finder and the way the camera is held remain unchanged. Fast, comfortable working Apart from the possibility of changing easily between vertical and horizontal format, the Rollei-specific advantages of the 6 x 6 magazine have been retained.

The Rollei interchangeable magazine 4560 can be easily switched round for horizontal or vertical format Clear setting and display mode The film speed and film type (120/220) are set on the back of the magazine. If desired, the frame number can also be transferred to the camera finder, as can the multi-exposure mode. The ISO setting and frame number are displayed on an LCD. Two button cells ensure that the data are saved when the magazine is removed. Emphasis on safety The 4560 magazine is fully integrated into the cameras control system. It informs the photographer about all the operating modes. The magazine itself is also protected to make it impossible to release the camera shutter when the drawslide is closed, to open or remove the magazine when the film gate is open, or to inadvertently open the drawslide with the magazine removed.

Going Digital
Picture taken in 1-shot mode
Picture taken in 16-shot mode
Photography actually means painting with light. But whether you do it using conventional film or a digital sensor has absolutely no bearing on composition. It is the result that counts. Meanwhile, digital image capture has become firmly established in professional photography. Digital techniques are the key to faster and safer printed matter of outstanding quality. As early as 1991, Rollei introduced its ScanPack, a highly precise digital back with a line sensor for stilllife photography. It was followed by the ChipPack which allowed black-and-white one-shots and fourshots for colored stills. Today, Rollei is keeping abreast by cooperating with leading manufacturers of digital backs. For the latest Rollei medium-format cameras, the 6008 AF and 6008 Integral, Rollei has followed the dynamic development of new digital backs, dividing their uses into three categories: 1-Shot: Fashion, people, nature, architecture. -Shot: Stills with perfect color rendition. 16-Shot: Stills with absolutely perfect detail and color rendition. The 16-shot mode (double resolution) makes extreme requirements of the camera. Even minimal vibrations (caused by the auxiliary shutters of other makers of medium-format cameras) result in quality-degrading blur. The Rolleiflex 6008 AF and the 6008 Integral fully satisfy the high requirements that are made of cameras that may be used with digital backs: Gold-plated contact strips for rapid and fast communication between camera components. Absolute freedom from vibration due to linearmotor-controlled shutter. There is absolutely no mechanical movement within the camera during the /16 exposures. 18
For the user, this means that his camera hardware is a safe investment. The high quality required by digital image capture can only be satisfied by a camera system on a par with this technology. The Rollei 6008 AF and 6008 Integral are up to that task. Photos: Studio Kollmorgen
