Hi!
I have had a thing for the Rolleiflex SLRs since I was a kid. So when I became able to buy, I have bought SL35, 35M, 35ME and 35E (2 of them) over time.
But one thing remains fairly constant. None of these camera bodies have a working lightmeters. I almost always bought from eBay in USA or UK or Germany. Any ideas if these bodies always have had a problem? On the the other hand 
the TLRs of Rollei I have never faced such problems.

Another ancillary question.
I live in the SF Bay Area, CA. So if any of you know of a good reliable Rolleiflex repairman I'd really appreciate it. Kamera Corner or Keeble and Schuchaat is no 
help.

Thanks in advance.

I have never had a problem with a Rolleiflex lightmeter and the only ones reputed to be troublesome are those in the Rollei 35 line. The lightmeter in my SL35E is quite accurate, almost as accurate as those in my 2.8GX and in my Leica M6.
Harry Fleenor, to the south of you near LA, is one of the finest Rolleiflex repair guys in the world. Marflex in New Jersey also ranks quite high. There are others, but that would be where I would look first. Harry is a regular member of this List and Marflex occasionally monitors and has, on occasion, participated.
