Forget the mask. Send the camera in for repairs. Ask the repair man about the mask.

I was packing up my T for shipping. On a whim, I wondered whether the 16-frame mask had anything to do with the jam. I removed it from the film gate ... and the jam disappeared. I reinstalled the mask, and now the shutter fires, but you have to push hard to fire it -- it feels as if the shutter mechanism is hitting up against something inside halfway through the depression. Anybody have any experience using the 16-frame mask? I'm thinking a service call is still in order.

I got the camera used with a charger and two batteries. Neither will last more than for about one film, so I thought that thebatteries where at fault. I sent on in to be re-fitted with new cells,unfortunately the repair shop is unable to get the replacement cells so it is taking an awful lot of time. In the mean time I bought a brand new battery from e-bay. It arrived fine and with all the packaging and looked brand new. Unfortunately it does not last any longer than the other batteries. Also the charge time was very short, less than one hour. I'm worried that my problem is really the charger and not the batteries. So a couple of questions: 1. What is the normal charging time for a battery (from empty)? 2. Is there any way of finding out if the charger is kaput?

On average it takes 45-60 minutes to charge, and I get many more than one roll on a charge. I'm not sure how many, as I don't shoot that actively, so usually I end up topping the battery off after a period of not being used. I would guess that I get around 20-30 rolls on a charge on average, less in the winter/in snow and cold weather. It does sound like something is wrong with your setup...

When the charger is plugged in, no lightsare on, when the battery is inserted the green light comes on followedshortly by the red light as well. When charging, the green and red light on the charger should be on; when fully charged, the charger goes into 'pulse' mode. It gives a pulse of charge every minute or so lasting for a fraction of a second. The red light will flash briefly every so often. If you sit and watch you should see it happening. It sounds as if one or more of the cells is starting to fail. When you first turn on the 6008i and press the meter button to 'fire up' the circuitry the LEDs in the top left of the viewfinder screen should say 'Full Charge' or similar. Alternatively there will be a number displayed from 9 to 1 (or so) this indicates the remaining charge and possible number of frames that you can shoot. I expect that in your case a number would show as opposed to the 'Full Charge'. If 'Full Charge' shows, take a couple of frames and switch off and back on again and check the information in the viewfinder. I would suspect failing cells. If you can check the voltage on the battery pack with a multi-meter when it has finished charging and a few days later, it will tell you if the pack is holding a charge or not. From memory it is the two outside holes on the end of the connection holes. If you are not certain, undo the little screws and pull the end off and put the probes on the respective wires from the batteries. Andrew Bell who hosts the www.rollei.org.uk website will re-cell 6000 batteries. His email address is: andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to the website for further details. Good luck.

I am not sure about the description of the first one. The second one is the Charger N. Probably the most common one. In an earlier message John gave the "manual" for the Charger N. I have not used this first one but I believe it has no pulse mode. The latest one is the Charger C with much more colour signals. Perhaps it is best if you would check which charger you have. On mine it is printed on the back. I do have the manual for Charger C but it will be a long story, so please check your charger first. I had the same problem with one of my batteries after many years of service. I had the cells replaced. I am surprised your supplier could not get the cells. Rollei uses very common Sanyo cells every battery supplier will recognise at once. The only thing to mention is that colour of the cells was changed from green to orange I believe. When the battery is fully charged the display of the 6008i will show for just a short moment the text "bcFULL". After switching on to "S" you will have to activate the electronics by pushing the metering switch. Then the "bcFULL" message is shown but only for a short moment. When the battery is partly discharged a message like "bc=5" will be very shortly shown directly after exposure. As John explained the number will count down from 9 -> 1. I believe the numbers have no relation to the number of films or exposures that can be made. A fully charged battery shows 9.6 Volt on pins 2 and 4 from the left when the contacts face you and are down. Ferdi.

I find that the 0.7 Rolleinar does not get me close enough for a tight headshot. However, you can mount a Bay III Rolleinar I on top of either Tele Rolleinar and the combination gets you real close -- I use the 0.35 Tele Rolleinar with a Rolleinar I all the time, for photos such as these: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sandersnyc/3076791496/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sandersnyc/2957173694/ Apart from some vignetting (which does not bother me) I find the combination very accommodating.

I'm not sure how many, as I don't shoot that actively, so usually I end up topping the battery off after a period of not being used. I would guess that I get around 20-30 rolls on a charge on average, less in the winter/in snow and cold weather. It does sound like something is wrong with your setup...

When the charger is plugged in, nolightsare on, when the battery is inserted the green light comes on followed shortly by the red light as well. When charging, the green and red lighton the charger should be on; when fully charged, the charger goes into 'pulse'mode. It gives a pulse of charge every minute or so lasting for a fraction of a second. The red light will flash briefly every so often. If you sitand watch you should see it happening.It sounds as if one or more of the cells is starting to fail. When youfirstturn on the 6008i and press the meter button to 'fire up' the circuitrytheLEDs in the top left of the viewfinder screen should say 'Full Charge' or similar. Alternatively there will be a number displayed from 9 to 1 (orso)this indicates the remaining charge and possible number of frames that you can shoot. I expect that in your case a number would show as opposed tothe'Full Charge'. If 'Full Charge' shows, take a couple of frames and switchoff and back on again and check the information in the viewfinder.I would suspect failing cells. If you can check the voltage on the batterypack with a multi-meter when it has finished charging and a few days later,it will tell you if the pack is holding a charge or not. From memory it is the two outside holes on the end of the connection holes. If you are not certain, undo the little screws and pull the end off and put the probes onthe respective wires from the batteries.Andrew Bell who hosts the www.rollei.org.uk website will re-cell 6000batteries.

Which means parts will become scarce, even scarcer than they are currently. So, if you've been mulling sending yours in for a service, to your specialist of choice, better do it now.

I am not sureabout the description of the first one. The second one is the ChargerN. Probably the most common one. In an earlier message John gave the "manual" for the Charger N. I have not used this first one but I believe it has no pulse mode. The latest one is the Charger C with much more colour signals.Perhaps it is best if you would check which charger you have. On mineit is printed on the back. I do have the manual for Charger C but it will be a long story, so please check your charger first. I had the same problem with one of my batteries after many years ofservice. I had the cells replaced. I am surprised your supplier couldnot get the cells. Rollei uses very common Sanyo cells every battery supplier will recognise at once. The only thing to mention is that colour of the cells was changed from green to orange I believe. When the battery is fully charged the display of the 6008i will show for just a short moment the text "bcFULL". After switching on to "S" you will have to activate the electronics by pushing the metering switch. Then the "bcFULL" message is shown but only for a short moment. When the battery is partly discharged a message like "bc=5"will be very shortly shown directly after exposure. As John explained the number will count down from 9 -> 1. I believe the numbers have norelation to the number of films or exposures that can be made. A fully charged battery shows 9.6 Volt on pins 2 and 4 from the left when the contacts face you and are down. Ferdi.

Many thanks in advance for your advice and thoughts. Sanders Please edit when responding to the digest. I am not as familiar with the T as with earlier models but I think the mechanism is similar. Jamming can come from the shutter not being fully cocked. Its cocked by an articulated lever which is worked by the crank, the system works against a cam which is moved by the focus knob to adjust the throw to compensate for the shutter position changing with the distance focused on. If there is a bit of wear the lever will not move enough to fully cock the shutter. This may happen only at one end of the focus travel but will eventually happen all over. When the shutter is only partially cocked it will latch but not fire. I think that may be what is happening here. There is an internal adjustment for the lever stroke. That adjustment may be enough or, if there is enough wear, the eccentric adjustment or cam may need to be worked on. This is definitely a job for a pro. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------ End of rollei_list Digest V5 #101 ********************************* --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list--- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
