Anybody have any tips where/if I might be able to find some Rolleiflex accessories in Seattle?

I arrived last night for a month, and I seem to have my Rollei with me even though it really needs a cap and a shade...

Any other Seattle related info also welcome, of course!

Try Glazer Camera...
Need film developed try Panda (highly recommended)...

I live downtown, so if you want to grab a beer and shoot the sh!t...let me know.
Cheers.

Hi Tom, another place with some Rollei accessories is Ken's Cameras in the U-district.

However, I happen to have a Rollei 2.8 cap and also am sure that I have a hood (I'll track it down tonight) that I am no longer using (somewhat worn, replaced with newer ones). If you'd like them, I could be talked into giving them to you, for say the price of a beer and future mailing of a print. I also have a pistol grip that I can let go for almost nothing. I live just east of the University of Washington, but could meet for a beer (you to Jason!) just about anywhere.
 
Hey, that's great! Would definitely like to meet up - give me a couple of days to find my bearings, and then maybe we can fix something up; I'm staying with my sister, and my brother-in-law will probably be up for a little outing.

I'll be in touch!

Tom, some Seattle suggestions:

Go to a Mariners game, preferably one on a really great weather day (I know, it's Seattle), the Yankees are in town, starting Friday. Pre-game, get a brew at Elysian Fields.

Coming up on May 19-20, is the University District Street Fair, probably the best/funkiest street fair in the region.

Make it up to the newly reopened Mt. Rainier Park (head up to Paradise).

The reopened Seattle Art Museum, fantastic (as well as the Olympic Sculpture Park!).

Pike Place Market.
 
Thanks Larry! I've just got back from the sculpture park (great) via Jim's cameras (also great!). He sorted me out with a series six adaptor, shade and yellow filter for not too many bucks. I will come round your way next for the cap!

Thanks again; I'm pretty well sorted now.

Tom,
Welcome to Seattle. It certainly looks like you came at a good time (weathewrwise). I hope you enjoy your stay here. Larry gave you some great suggestions for places to go and things to do.
