Fellow Rollei users/owners...

Sorry to interfere here, but...I have a comment or two and a question, if you don't mind.

I've always wanted a good Rollei, and now I have one!

I saw this Rollei Magic on eBay, and bought it!

Now that I've got it in my hands, I need to pass on my observations, and solicit your comments in response...



Comment:  You should have asked us here before bidding.

I paid $ 40 for my Rolleimagic, and it sounds like it is in much better shape than what you got. I only wanted it for collector's value, since it is incapable of taking good photos due to the poor design of the meter. With no manual speeds at all, you're screwed when the meter dies, as they always do.

Get your money back. If you've got that kind of money to throw away, I'll sell you my Rolleiflex T for a whole lot less and you'll have a real camera.

Bob
