Welcome, James. I am sure you will LOVE the Rolleiflex. The church must
have been crazy to sell it! Even if one "moves to digital" one cannot
match the quality of the results from a Rolleiflex. Besides, which
modern camera offers the sheer pleasure of use a Rolleiflex offers?
If there are problems with the camera, Harry Fleenor
(<http://www.rolleirepairs.com/>) will fix it for you at a very
reasonable price.
Some film is still quite good when old - don't throw it out, just try a
roll or two.
Cheers!
