Hi J. Patric:
Yes, I am afraid you are correct. Unfortunately in all my years
buying on eBay I have never been so dissappointed. I knew the camera
was going to need a lot of work, but never expected this. I have
emailed the seller, and hopefully he will make some accomodation.
Unfortunately, I was so desparate to find a Rollieflex for the
collection, I jumped at this one, as it was within my price range,
and I had hoped it would be worthwhile fixing up. Had I known of the
lense problem, though, I wouldn't have bid.
Thanks,
Dave
