Rolleiflex TLR: FINDING YOUR ROLLEIFLEX TLR by Harry Fleenor

[roy_ramavarapu1]

<p>Harry Fleenor is a highly regarded Rolleiflex TLR service expert, and has a site at www.rolleirepairs.com, and operates Oceanside Camera Repair in Calif. At this site, a pdf document is available as a download for USD10.00 (PAYPAL) titled, <strong>FINDING YOUR ROLLEIFLEX TLR, 1 B</strong> (I don't know if the 1 B is part of the title). This document gives info on buying a Rolleiflex TLR. I am NOT seeking this document from somebody who purchased it, and will pay the amount myself at Harry Fleenor's site, and obtain a copy. I am writing if anybody has bought this document and found the contents useful/helpful in buying this TLR camera. There is a large amount of information on the Internet on this TLR, and am wondering if this pdf document has something extra.<br>

Thank you very much.<br>

<p>Well I am a big Fleenor fan and have sent him at least 4 different Rolleiflexes for repair. However I have not bought his PDF probably because he didn't have it for sale when I was buying my cameras. I am pretty certain that the information you get from Harry will be very informative about tell tale condition issues. <br />That is what would make me want it. Regarding knowing which camera model offers which functions I would think that even just asking here in photo.net or looking in the photo.net archives you will get all the information you could even want. Clicking on the Rollei link above should get you to days worth of reading on various topics. The other thing you can do is go to the Rolleiclub site and look at their page of various models. As far as Harry Fleenor goes if I was you and was thinking of investing in a Rolleiflex, I would give him the 10 dollars. He is worth it.</p>

<p>D. Purdy posted a response, and I would like to thank you very much for all the information. I will pay the USD10.00 at Harry Fleenor's site and use the information in the download. Thank you again.<br>

Best regards, Roy Ramavarapu, 02 March 2013</p>

<p>I bought it before I bought my Rolleiflex. It gives you an "insider's view" of the weak points of various models. He tells you which models to avoid, and which ones should be reliable, and what to look for when buying any of them.</p>

<p>does he cover the GX, FX and FX-N models?</p>

<p>It should be noted that Harry does not work on the early 30's models. I had him service my dad's 1952 Rolleiflex. But I used Bald Mountain to do a K1 and the Rolleicord 1. All pricey but the best at their game.</p>

<p>There is another volume listing Rollei cameras available from Barnes and Noble. It is: Collectors Guide to Rollei Cameras by Arthur C. Evans. It advances to the SL66E, skips the SL66SE and ends with the 6002 and 6006. It delves into the 35mm Rolleis as well.<br /><br /></p>
