The first and last photos are my favorites - they have a nice "late summer" feeling.

My favorite is the first one, the trail in the shadows.

That is a very sharp combination of lens and film. I bet you can easily see any defect in the signs of the central post in that first picture, in the negative!

Don't like the Hipstamatic filters? My iPhone camera is for instant gratification.

Oh, I didn't say I don't like the Hipstamatic look, just that these are much better in quality.  Snap away at your pleasure!

I hope the Rolleicord I'm buying from apocaplops works half as well as Bill's Rolleiflex!  Of course, I'd have to move to Canada to get the same kinds of pics....

Which Rolleicord are you getting? I own a IV K3B with the 75 f3.5 Xenar lens and it makes super nice photos.

It's the Rolleicord V, I dunno if there's a further model number.  Erich's posted pics of it here: http://nelsonfoto.com/SMF/index.php?topic=25415.0

It's a first generation V, I think you will enjoy this camera a lot. Does it need a CLA?

If you scroll down a little further this sub forum, I have some shots I took down in NYC back in the spring.

Me, too.  Although I do wonder what kind of data plan will be required.
