Selling gorgeous kit of this legendary TLR camera. One of the nicest medium format camera ever made. An all manual no-nonsense
German precision instrument from the hight of German mechanical engineering. The Tessar lens has a beautiful classic look and is very sharp indeed.
This the rarest model that feature a (fully working) light meter.
I prefer TLRs over mirror reflex cameras like Hasselblad, as I can handhold at much slower shutter speeds (even down to 1/15sec sometimes). It is also a more portable solution and you find yourself using it way more often. For street photography strangers are strangely open to having their picture taken when you use a beautiful Rolleiflex. Most people think I use these for fun and just can't comprehend that it is one of the very best image makers in the world.
Condition:
Cosmetically:
The camera is
in very pretty condition given that it is almost 60 years old. Used but clearly taken extremely well care of. Please
inspect the large images carefully, they give an accurate description of
cosmetics.
Optically:
Both lenses are
in immaculate condition. Free of scratches, cleaning marks,
haze, fungus. The viewing lens has a little dust, but nothing more than the usual.
Technically:
Shutter and adjustment levers was just professionally serviced in oct. 2016, so everything
works perfectly. Shutter speeds are accurate at all speeds according to my measurements.
Focusing is
nice and smooth.
Film advance crank is smooth and light running.
Adjustment lever for shutter speed and aperture works perfectly (they are often very tight due to gummed up lubricants)
Flash sync
socket works. I get reliable 1/500s flash sync with my small radio triggers.
Focusing hood
is in great condition. Everything snaps into place. The matte screen is good.
Extras:
The old light
meter is surprisingly accurate and quite useful actually.
Leather case is
in very nice condition. A few stitches have loosened but it is very minor and overall looks great (stitches are easy to fix btw. I have a good link with the correct knots if ever relevant).
Hood is good and the filters perfectly useable (yellow filter really enhances b&w negatives and the neutral one is a perfect protection filter).
Shipping:
I
take pride to pack my items very well protected and ship quickly after payment
is cleared.
