Hi Albano ... Ed Uses a 1954 Rolleiflex 2.8E with, I believe, a Planar lens. His Rolleiflex TLR can be seen here: http://www.edkrebs.com/linkspage/links.htm
It's almost fifty years old, and still does a great job of assisting Ed with his portraits. Even though I've said many times that I prefer older cameras and more traditional gear and methods, I'm frequently surprised to see the results these old cameras and lenses can deliver. Mike Johnston, in a recent column in Luminous Landscape, commented on some of what he considers very qualitative differences achieved by using older lenses and more traditional films and printing techniques (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/sm-02-04-28.htm). I think I agree with him, although more exploration of the concept is in order. Hey, the price is right. Don't agonize over it ... if you can afford it, buy it ... and use it to make your own unique photographic statement.
