Rolleiflex cameras - what to check when buying

[@robertyoung1777]

Thank you! Yashica twin lens cameras are another option, potentially at a lower price. There are probably other good brands out there too.

Yashica 124g is a great camera!

Great video, thanks for sharing! After a few weeks of weighing my options (and watching videos such as this) I decided to pull the trigger on a tidy meterless f2.8 Rolleiflex E from Ebay. Everything works perfecty, but there is a bit of dust in the lens, mirror, and viewing screen. I'll be sending it in for a CLA after the holidays.

Beautiful cameras. Get the CLA and it’ll serve you for decades!

I love my 75mm 3.5 TESSAR with 10 blades aperture , and my new Rollei the Wide Rollei , 55mm F4 , the wide is heavier but the images are worth every gram of weight. In America HARRY FLEENOR is the person I sought out for the tune up and bright screen install and focus set on my Wide Rollei. It is so true ; my Wide was in a collection , so she needed lubrication and servicing . If your mirror has some reflective backing falling away or damaged from age , replace the mirror . Rollei's are lovely a true icon , and honestly a pleasure exceeding using my Leica M's. That 6x6 image is magical.

Thanks for commenting and for the recommendation.

Curios to know your thoughts on this: Got a recently CLA'd 2.E with a replaced brightscreen. Everything seems good, except that when focusing the distance that looks in focus definitely does not match the distance listed on the focus knob. Haven't yet gotten the rolls developed to confirm if my test shots are in focus. Is this something you've come across?

It doesn’t sound like a serious issue. I suspect it’ll just need a minor adjustment.
