My cameras have been gathering dust for about a month whilst I was preparing for exams. After my final exam on Thursday morning, I'm pretty keen to go out and burn a few rolls and more importantly, get my darkroom up and running to make some 8x10 prints!

No, I was just visiting a friend for the weekend. Her sister is an amazing photographer and she let me borrow her Rolleiflex. Liked using it so much that I bought one for myself recently.

Those things are fantastic - does it shoot 120? how much it set you back?

This isn't exactly still photography, but is photography all the same - an impromptu rendition of Jeff Buckley's version of 'A Satisfied Mind', sung by Charlie Lim:

Yeah, 120 film. Some models can take 220 and with a Rolleikin adapter, you can even use 35mm film as well.

As for the price, I paid US$700 for mine. Expensive, but it's is one of the rarer models with an f2.8 Planar lens and is meterless, which essentially means it's going to command a higher than usual price. A basic Rolleiflex like an Automat or a T with an f3.5 Tessar lens will usually set you back around $300-$350, with no great difference in image quality.

Very cool man. I get the 2.8 lens, but why would a meterless model be more expensive? seems to me it would just be less practical...

Second picture is great. though a bit stalkery given the car dash at the bottom

Recently was given this by my grandfather, who bought this in [i think] the 1930s:

fully-functioning, takes 120 film, looking forward to trying it out

I think the premium stems from the relative scarcity of the meterless Rollei's. In later models (E/F), the majority of them have light meters, most of which are neither accurate or functional nowadays. My personal view is that a meterless model looks better and considering that I already have a handheld light meter, an inbuilt meter wouldn't be of any use.

As for my second picture, I've had a few comments about that. I'll have to crop it a bit for my final edit.

This is one of my favorite pictures I took from the DC Cherry Blossom Fest in Spring. It is something about the dirty stuffed animal, but the stitched on smile.
