Just received my latest eBay purchase, a Rolleiflex Standard in pretty good condition.
It should date from around 1932 to 1935 - and for its age has kept up really well.
The slow times are a bit too slow ( but we may all be a bit slow once we are over 70 ;-).
I am wondering if I should take the shutter apart and clean/lube.
Does anyone have any experience? - There shouldn't be too many complicated linkages, are there? (I am not afraid of the shutter itself.
Also, does anyone have a manual for this camera? - It is all very straight forward - maybe with the exception of the crank/film-feed (which has caused me some grey hair on my Rolleiflex Automat)
best regards
