Even the Rolleiflex will not do all the things as well as some of the other Camera Magazines.

Magazine photography can be the most spectacular, most varied, most challenging and most satisfying of endeavors. The true Camera Magazine artist can find more opportunity, more scope for his ability in magazine photography than elsewhere, and more appreciation for his success when he produces pictures which are out of the ordinary.
