Hi Uwe, Welcome to the list. It's a good place for Rollei enthusiast and I have enjoyed it for almost 15 years. Good to know there is someone to service the SL66 in Germany and I would not have to send it all the way to H.F. in California, customs issues and all. Do you have the address/phone number of your friend in Frankfurt? I sold my SL66 and 80mm Planar to afford the move to Bonn but kept a bunch of accessories and am definitely going to replace it with another one sooner or later. 50mm Distagon and SL66 seems to be a much more affordable way to get a wideangle than the Rolleiwide options, not to mention all the instant macro options you get with the SL66.
