Here we have a Wide Rolleiflex in acceptable condition. The shutter fires on all speeds, but the slow speeds sound too slow. Lenses look very good: glass is clean and clear, no fungus, no haze, minimal coating marks. Focus is smooth across the range. Aperture and shutter speed controls feel good. Hood erects and collapses neatly, loupe and sports finder work fine. The left-side catch that holds the ground glass and hood in place is a little bent, but it does lock in properly with some fiddling. Cosmetics are ok, with generalized wear; there's a little patch of leatherette next to the flash mode selector that someone replaced with a piece of cardboard. Back opens and closes nicely. Includes original front cap.

About Camera Sanctuary:
Like you, I love cameras. I bring all manner of equipment into the Camera Sanctuary in the hope that I can place it in a new home. I handle everything from collector’s pieces to total beaters, Leica to Lomo, Alpa to Argus. You can buy from me secure in the following:
- My descriptions are honest. Some cameras have been babied, and some have been brutalized. There’s room in the world for both, but I won't try to sell one as the other.
- I won’t pretend I don’t know things.
- I’ll take back anything that doesn’t meet your expectations.
