My Rollei/Voigtländer VSL3 E came working as new really, after a major general repair and the price was very reasonable indeed: They were people from Rollei and they have new spare parts bought during the 1980 Rollei bankruptcy. They are in the former Voigtländer factory in Braunschweig/Brunswick: http://www.ffs-service.de/ Carlos PS: Congratulations for the SL66 Jan!, mine is working very well now. 2014-10-24 9:16 GMT-03:00 Jan Decher <jdecher@xxxxxxx>: > Hi Folks, > > I am back into SL66 since yesterday, with a fairly late SL66 (Nr. 2925155) > with 2.8/80mm HFT Planar (Nr. 8059443) and a nice 5.6/250 HFT Sonnar.
