  1. Hey hope i can post this here, I bought rolleiflex 3.5e planar with filter( rolleinar 1+2, uv, green, yellow,hood + case)-all in good contidion with some light cleaning scratches on few of them nothing serious, camera case and a strap. For 600eur.

     

    However after 2 days i noticed some flaws, there is some lens separation on the taking lens(in "corner" not much now maybe 3mm into the lens. coating loss which i knew about, small spot of corrosion(?looks like just a spot of different color than the rest of aperture?) on aperture blade and small spot of fungus in rear element. It needs CLA for shutter 30 eur here, not a problem.

    seller said it was in fine condition but he did not know about separation. He offered just a refund of 270 for the Camera and i have to keep the filters for 330. as it is "market price" first it was 400 camera and 200 filters as a "bundle" (it was not ebay nor do i have any selling agreement, we met in a poorly lit cafe where it was hard to chceck everything i know it is partly my fault, so i cant force him to return it all)

    so the question is should i keep it and shoot while it does not affect IQ so much and the sell for parts or find replacement lens?

    or just keep the filters and find another camera/sell them.

     

    Thanks any advice on anything about this or where to find spare lens for 3.5e is most welcome.

     

    thanks

  2. <p>there are just few 220 films produced but it is possible to use 120film but it is not the most convenient combo....seems like getting money back will be best option but it will be pain in the ass to find another one here.</p>
  3. <p>Hi, last week i posted about buying mamiya rb67, i bought it with agreement that i will get refund if i dont like it. Bought it for 300eur. Mamiya rb67, wlf, 2 x 220 back, 90,65mm original lenses. The guy seemed reasonable and knew about his camera but after studying it a bit more i noticed some problems.<br /> groundglass is a bit scratched but nothing that would affect focusing much.<br /> the leather has started comming off but i dont see that as a big problem to buy and cut some leather and glue it.<br /> <strong>the main problems are with lenses.</strong><br /> On the <strong>65mm lens</strong> when cocking the shutter the front part of lens moves, also when shutter is fired. hope you can see it from the picture what i mean https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bze7TJGqIIS3bzBGWEk4X3o5LUE .<br /> is it too bad or how to fix it? also on the aperture ring the knob is missing as seen on the photo. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bze7TJGqIIS3aWhYb3g2WDBmNTA<br /> on the<strong> 90mm lens </strong>i cant take the front cone from the lens, the knob on the depth of field ring is missing. otherwise it looks ok. optics look clean and good, photos are also good nothing wrong with them.<br /> i fell in love with it with the first picture i took. but 300eur is for me quite a lot and it seems like it was not worth that much in this state. should i want my money back or just a part and repair it?. it makes me a bit worried that along the way it will be just a big mess of not working parts for repair...<br>

    PS. if anything is unclear or the pics arent woking please tell me and i will try to make it work or rewrite so you can understand</p>

  4. <p>now i got an offer for rb67 pro s, wlf, 90mm f3.8 (original) 2 backs 6x7, lens hood and a box for the camera for 332eur. is it worth the pro s body sacrifising the 65mm lens and 32 more eur? <br>

    anyway its above my buget i wanted to fit under 300eur so i need to consider it really good.</p>

    <p>thx for replies in advance :)</p>

  5. <p>Hey, i am moving to 6x7 from psix tl and consider buying rb67 but in my country it is hard to find one.<br>

    However i found one RB67 with 65mm f 4.5 and 90mm f 3.8 (the oldest versions /single coated /) with two backs ( one is pro s back)<br>

    <strong>is it worth 300eur(337usd)</strong> if it will be in working condition all? ( the leather cover is in poor state but otherwise it is supposed to be ok in terms of function, i will chceck it tomorrow) it is urgent as the owner neither do i have much time and id like to buy asap.</p>

    <p>thanks</p>
