Steven, here's what I found under the covers of my "doner" body which turned out to have a non-working meter. "Brace yourself", as they say here in Australia ;-) Regards, Rif

<p>As far as I know, the only difference between the PQ and PQS lenses is the maximum shutter speed. I don't think there is any difference between them in terms of optical formula or coatings. I think you have two options:<br> 1) Find someone to make a custom adapter to fit Exacta66 lens onto a Rollei.<br> 2) Experiment with different films, filters, and different grade papers to achieve a close as you can to your desired result.<br> If you are using the Hy6 with a digital back, then it might be the sensor that is the issue. In which case, try a film back for the Hy6.<br> Regards,<br> Rif</p>

<p>That's a very generous offer, Dennis. I will PM you shortly. :-)<br> ~Rif</p>

<p>Thanks Gus, Jeff - now I know what to look for :-)</p> <p>~Rif</p>

<p>I think I'll have to find a RE Super or Super D/Dm to go with the lens - just to see what all the fuss is about! Which one is these is the "better" option? Which one hits the price/performance sweet spot?<br> Thanks!<br> Rif</p>

<p>Hi all,<br> I picked up a rather lovely RE.Auto-Topcor 2.5cm F3.5 lens. Focus is a little stiff/uneven, front glass is lovely, rear glass is fine, protected by a cute little bayonet UV filter. Seems fairly clear inside, possibly a little light dust/fungus at the rear (hard to tell).<br> Should I look for a body to match and go shoot some film? Which model Topcon body? Who would be able to CLA this lens. It's beautifully built!<br> Thanks!<br> Rif</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks for suggestions so far. Fototechnik Germany, promised to sell me a solenoid and transistor for a reasonable price, but since then, no response. Eric of Rolleiflex.us is willing to help if I can find the part numbers. Does anybody have a repair manual or help with the part numbers I need?<br> Without the parts/part numbers, this body I can't attempt to bring this wonderful camera back into service :(<br> Thanks!<br> ~Rif</p>

<p>Hi all,<br> I have a Rollei 6003 Pro which is working fine except for the mirror, which wont move. I suspect the solenoid that allows the mirror to flip is faulty. You can see the part in the picture below - it has the two yellow wires. </p> <p>https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7177/13684861473_aa90001a12.jpg<br> <img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7177/13684861473_aa90001a12.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /><br> I wondered if anybody has had a similar experience (and can confirm my suspicion) or knows where I could find a replacement solenoid? I have a working 6003 so I suppose I could swap the suspect part to confirm, but I don't want to do that just yet.<br> Thoughts?<br> Regards,<br> Rif </p>
