Preface

For a long time I have entertained the idea of composing a list of noted photographers who have used a Rolleiflex TLR at one time in their careers. For a number of reasons the project did not take off. I feared I might end up with lots of work maintaining the links. Another reason was that I did not want the list to be limited to well-known photographers.

Recently I found some web-sites of talented photographers who have expressed that they used or still use a Rolleiflex. That persuaded me to go ahead.
