Rollei 6008 series

[Nick De Marco]

I realise this is the wrong place to ask in that the Rollei is not a rangefinder.
But I am a rangefinder (usally leica) user, I like this forum, and I don't kow anywhere else to ask.

So if anybody knows, I bought a second hand Rollei 6008 'professional'. It has various problems, principlaly it is almost impossible to load film, but also the meter only works on the middle setting.

Does anyone know a reputable firm/person in London who might be able to do a repair for a reasonable price?​

I use a 6008i a lot. Never had any problem with it- not sure how film loading could become difficult.
Although I am in the US, I believe Robert White in the UK is a reliable source for Rollei information if not service.
All metering problems I have ever had have had to do with the lens chosen- some older 6000 series lenses don't work in every setting on the newer cameras. I have a 50mm that is older and its auto functions don't work the same as later (PQ or PQS) lenses.
