Just bought a nice black Rollei 35 Tessar with case, cap, instr. book, and a
Cenei rubber lens hood-filter combination. It was priced very low, supposedly
"because the meter wasn't working." I cleaned the contacts, inserted a PX
625A and the needle responded nicely.
Unfortunately, then I discovered that the aperture does not always open or
close to the indicated value at extended lens. I went bacl tp the store.They
wanted to take it back but we agreed on a free brick of color negative film
instead to compensate for the camera's current condition.
So I am sending it off for repair and meter calibration tom Munich tomorrow.
Hopefully that will have me shooting this tiny jewel soon and I will post
results. Haven't used a Rollei 235 in a while.
