Rolleiflex 3.5E Xenotar 75mm f3.5 TLR

This 3.5E has a fixed waist level finder, it does not remove unless you take the screws out, which was done when I had the Rick Oleson screen installed, this brightened up the viewfinder a great deal. The lenses are excellent, I can find no issues, clean and clear. The shutter speeds seem accurate, the controls move easily, the winder winds properly, the focus is smooth and even, the WLF works nicely with no problems. This once had a working meter but it was switched out and a plug put in so no meter at this time. The selenium cell is active if you can find the meter "guts" for the left side, it just twists in, and they can sometimes be found on ebay, this would result in a working meter. As it is, the plug makes the camera slightly less wide, which is nice, and lots of rollei users don't use the built in meter, choosing to use more accurate hand held meters (or your smart phone with a meter app). The other issue to mention is that the shutter button "lock" does not work, you can't lock the button in the released position while using "B" time exposure, this is a very minor issue (I've never used the lock in 50 years of Rolleiflex use). This camera has also been re-skinned and looks quite nice despite some small nicks and rub marks. Comes with the mirrored cap shown.
