The Rolleiflex is a fantastic camera. Great personality! I had a loan of one once. Made me feel like a king. It's great for still life, scenery and architecture but not the best for moving targets. One advantage of the look down on ground glass screen is that you see everything in reverse as far as I remember. No good for following motion but great for composition as it takes the picture completely out of its context. Great that NLI is putting up more and more stuff online and catalogued. Full marks. Long may it remain. Have seen Jacolette's blog before. Wonderful. I'll stop before I devalue my praise with overuse. Great post and fabulous collection.

While images for most of these great Elinor Wiltshire photos had been online for a while, it's really our snazzy online viewer (or Mega Zoomifier) that's going to make all the difference - to be able to zoom in on the tiniest detail is fantastic...
