Save me from myself! (HU)

Yea so this is actually the same camera as sat next to me. I only paid £50 buy-it-now for mine, but then again mine is/was in a shoddy state.

No affiliation, but those filters are worth at least £40 alone. C'mon someone here must be after a sexy 'flex? 😀


Also I think the sticky 1/500 isn't stuck like they say, it's probably like I found with mine (after good advice) - set BEFORE winding on, the opposite of a lot of cameras.

maybe he just does not dare to put the speed into the 1/500 setting. On compur rapids it engages an extra spring and it needs a rather strong twist to get it in there.
But even if it is really stuck, it looks like a good investment. AND, if the lens is a Zeiss Opton "red T" then the camera is younger than he thinks, definitely a coated wartime or post-war automat.
It also looks clean and without dents or other abuse.
I have an uncoated Tessar automat and I can strongly recommend this machine.

Yea it looks like a very nice example for the money. Course, that's my budget, so I'm not keen on buying ANOTHER rolleiflex, no matter how good looking it is 😀
