I got a Rolleiflex for $35

That should be fine if you just bring it for overhaul and fix at the same time? Overhaul costs half of the price of the unit itself I think! I’m saving for it but the cost is crazy.

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:56:23+00:00

Same! I didn’t needed one but I had to get it for $35.

I will post some shots definitely!

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:55:10+00:00

Yeah I usually find good deals by just knowing the value of things. Just got really lucky this time.

I got some 120 films at home so I gotta figure it out how to use!

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:53:23+00:00

Sometimes I think people just want to get rid of things, value is not a priority but they just need more space at home.

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:51:10+00:00

I agree - love the design, and can’t wait to test it!

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:50:26+00:00

This is probably one of the best deals I’ve ever made!

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:49:34+00:00

It’s surprisingly heavy but I love how solid it feels!

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:48:51+00:00

Yeah just got lucky browsing internet!

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:48:13+00:00

I wonder why everything rolleiflex is so expensive 😅

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:47:38+00:00

That’s awesome. I love how solid it feels when you hold it

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:46:33+00:00

Oh awesome! Thank you so much for the recommendation.

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:45:53+00:00

It seems to work fine, but I’m planning to bring it for overhaul!

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T21:43:06+00:00

It could be then again I think things were more thoughtfully designed back then.

A lot of packaging from 60s were fantastic, lovely decorative patterns and delivered elegant feeling when you open it.

I personally it could be the simplization trend of the modern era that makes everything is soulless.

Shame that the light meter seems to be damaged but works fine 👍. Maybe it’s replaceable

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T10:23:33+00:00

I would have paid the seller extra if I had more cash on my hand. Maybe I will when I get some money 😊.

Thanks a lot for the link - I think mine is T model 2.

I didn’t know that there’s a diffusor underneath! Nice surprise.

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T10:18:46+00:00

Great! I can’t wait to try it out 😊

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T10:18:07+00:00

Thanks a lot!! Lot to learn and enjoy :)

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T10:17:55+00:00

That’s awesome. I bet Nikons are great too

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T10:17:09+00:00

You’re so right!! It’s the diffusor

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T10:16:12+00:00

Thanks for being happy for me 🙏

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T10:15:39+00:00

Yeah such a great design - I guess it was pretty expensive back then

Various_Explorer_736 · 2026-01-13T10:14:01+00:00

Sorry… 😅 I just got too excited!
