Thank you very much Daniel and Thor, the camera looks very robust and
comfortable to use it; I could see Henry Scherer is the only technician in the
web assuring spare parts for this model; I had a conversation with Walter
Ruedt, the former Rolleiflex official technical service chief in Argentina and
he does not want to repair these cameras due to the lack of spare parts, "if I
break a curtain repairing the shutter, what could I do ?" and then perhaps this
Contax could be the second camera I send to the States to repair.-
