Photo Forum / Film Photography / Medium format / December 2007Rolleicord Va - I got it back 11-19-07
Previously, a few months ago, I requested advise here about Oceanside Camera Repair done by Harry Fleenor ... he did GREAT work. Everything is super smooth and sharply accurate. He told me it takes a_half_a_day to do the job of a shutter overhaul, for $134? That is normally about a two hour charge for work, so, a great deal IMO. And these medium format cameras have much more resolution than any pos P/S digital cams with much greater detail, and film is still more artistically beautiful, and can be scanned on a decent flatbed with a light lid. THANKS all for the good advise!

Because you'd need a new 'Maxwell bright screen' installed which also entails readjusting the focusing mechanism (at cost), because the the new screen is thicker, it would have to be calibrated to "out further" from the film plane by the difference in thickness from your screen to the new one. It is an all inclusive job. Before I sent mine in, I did remove the whole finder and cleaned it all out myself, very carefully. You can do that too. And then, the shutter overhaul is it's own cost. I don't want to discourage you, but there are all these considerations, and there is about a 12 week turn around time before you get it back! Which model do you have, may I ask??????

A ground glass focusing screen can be much improved in brightness and eveness by the simple addition of a drop-in plastic fresnel lens. No change in focus. They used to be available for Rolleis for less than $10...that would translate to less than $50 now.

I researched it about seven or eight years ago and learned it was from 1956. I don't remember anything else about it. SignatureMichael > You've got me ready to send him my old Rolleicord.

I have a Rollei that is working fine, speeds are OK but I find everything about it sluggish, as if all the moving parts, levers, knobs, etc, needed lubrication; the camera seems to lack silkiness in its operation. You can send me the information off list!
