<p>Thank you guys for the advice/help/info/opinions. I really like the C and it is in such great cosmetic condition (9.5/10). i paid $710 in all for it. I want to send it to krikor as i he has has faster repair time. But at the aame time i want to send it back and get my money back. The first thing i tried to do with it was set it to a different shutter speed and it wouldnt move. so i thought it was liek my rolelicord (that both shutter and aperture were linked and moved together) so i tried moving the aperture dial to see if the shutter speed would move. But it didnt so i realized there was a problem. i then tried all the buttons on it and winding crank. i noticed that the self timer lever dosent engage to anything. just goes up and down. i dont think i broke it. But its frustrating a seller wouldnt test out a camera before shipping it. He told me it had a cla last year and should be working fine. <br> The seller says he will take a look at it and try to "fix" it. But like d purdy said, the guy might try to fool me with a quick fix. Should i ask him to atleast pay half of the overhaul cost from krikor? </p> <p>Here is a link to the camera i have bought, note the description of the item. Also realized that the ASA/DIN circular setting in the focusing knob isnt there which dosent bother me but the description says nothing is missing. </p> <p>http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolleiflex-2-8C-TLR-Schneider-Xenotar-80mm-f-2-8-serial-1433087-CLA-LAST-YEAR-/141540522921?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=1iVL55egKBUFYyOZK97m1tQMhuw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc</p> <p>Thanks in advance for hearing my rant guys.</p>

<p>Yes it came with a manual but mentions nothing about what to do if shutter dial gets stuck. yes i noticed that next to both dials there is a lock that needs to be pushes at the same time as turning it. </p> <p>the shutter speed dial gets stiff when the aperture dial is at 2.8. and loosens up when i get to f22, to the point i can see the B move to the line back and fourth but will not shift over to the next setting 1 second. <br> Will probably return ship in a day. Those dial locks are rather annoying. Any advice which model to get? Been eyeing a 2.8D. </p>

<p>Hello, noob here. i just got my rolleiflex 2.8c from the mail today. The Sellers ebay store says it was CLA'd last year and that everything should be fully operational which everything is minus the shutter speed dial. The winding lever works and cocks the shutter. But since its stuck on B mode and i press down the shutter release button nothing happens. The timer should be working but it dosent make any noise or seem to work.<br> The shutter speed dial seems to get stiffer as the aperture is larger (f2.8) and loosens up a bit as i go into a smaller aperture (f.22) but will not go into the next speed. just stays at B. Sometimes the shutter blades stay open even after i press down the release button and it closes when i jiggle around the shutter speed dial. This is very confusing. could i have gotten bamboozled? i have a 14 day return period. This is really disappointing as the camera is in such excellent condition.<br> Seller says if i send it back he can get his technicians to take a look at it. But first i want to know if theres a lock button for the shutter speed dial or perhaps some special lock around the camera? i have a rolleicord va type 2 and it works flawlessly but this 2.8 isnt doing anything. <br> Any suggestions or guesses on what it might be? <br> i looked for other posts similar to this one but no one seems to have had the problem where the shutter just stays at B. <br> Thanks in advance!</p>
