I'm Sorry Guy's, You may actually find one of the one or two good ALPA's that were manufactured. All kidding aside, I also had an 11Si for awhile, you know, to give the marke another chance. Well, lo and behold, it was actually trouble-free for 4 whole rolls of film........ NUFF SAID. I've had better Exacta's. As far as the Rollei's are concerned, I've had and used successfully, 2 SL's, and 2 SL35E's, one silver chrome and one black chrome, (with winder!) I also had several Zeiss Rollei lenses, 28, 50's, 1.4 & 1.8's 85, 1.4, 135, 2.8, and a 180 Olympia Sonnar! Nice though they were, I traded all for a R8 body & late 35 f/2 Summicron. The R8 was an early one and a TOTAL DOG, you know, FUBAR!! Bad trade! Art Tafil
