First, note that, again, I have set the
SUBJ: line to properly spell out "Rollei". I
wish you guys would pay attentino!
Second, the late and lamented Claus Prochnow sets
out all of the weights of the Rolleiflex cameras
in his various Rollei Reports. I am too lazy to
dig out all of the details at the moment, but
Richard really could find the answer to his query
by consulting his own copies of these estimable works.
Third, Ken Ruth at Photography on Bald Mountain
is your guy. He is expensive and slow and will
talk your ear off but he is the very best -- and
he stands firmly behind his work. Also highly
recommended is John Van Stelten in
Colorado. There are others, but those are the guys who will get my work.
