[rollei_list] Re: Disturbing Lack of Traffic

I'm very satisfied with my Xenotar and my Planar and
my Xenar and even with my Rollei 35 Tessar, they are
very clean ( the Xenotar and the Planar were
cleaned,the Planar by John at Focal Point and Harry
Fleenor and the Xenotar in an speciallized house in
Buenos Aires, Schneider representative, Casa Schwarz).
Several old lenses,even looking in good condition
could have almost invisible haze affecting the
contrast seriously, they need to be cleaned and
adjusted.
An idea about my lenses performace can be seen in my
gallery and at the Rollei gallery at Flickr, I can say
it now because I have a good scanner.-

All the best
Carlos
