First, note that, again, I have set the SUBJ: line to properly spell out "Rollei". I wish you guys would pay attentino!
Second, the late and lamented Claus Prochnow sets out all of the weights of the Rolleiflex cameras in his various Rollei Reports. I am too lazy to dig out all of the details at the moment, but Richard really could find the answer to his query by consulting his own copies of these estimable works.
Third, Ken Ruth at Photography on Bald Mountain is your guy. He is expensive and slow and will talk your ear off but he is the very best -- and he stands firmly behind his work. Also highly recommended is John Van Stelten in Colorado. There are others, but those are the guys who will get my work.
