Nov 9: In need of care

There are some people out there that want to see what this little old classic can do. Me too, but I've noticed that the shutter is a little lazy. Quite common on mechanical cameras that haven't been used in a while. This one is so tidy, I suspect it was never used much at all! It just needs a little bit of care, or as people in camera circles say, a CLA - Clean Lube and Adjust. If anyone knows of a good Rollei specialist in the UK, please let me know.

I have a Rollieflex from the same period. I haven't used it in years but it took fantastic pictures. Razor sharp lens.

Great shot here. Fine detail.

That thing is in beautiful condition, David! Good luck finding someone for servicing it!
