I have a Rolleiflex 3.5F purchased from Camera West in the Summer of 2002 or 2003. This camera was my daily user for the better part of 8 years and it shows. The camera has wear marks, faded leather and some great stories to tell. The previous owner was a wedding photographer who screwed in the M-X bulb sync switch so the switch wouldn't swap over to the bulb setting. Handy for him but aesthetically, not so pleasing
Overall the camera is somewhere between BGN and Ugly by KEH standards. However, the camera has had a full CLA / Overhaul at Krimar Photo in NJ in 2008 for $400. Additionally, the taking lens was polished and re-coated by John van Stelten with Focal Point at a cost of $350. That said, when the camera was purchased I was made aware of a small mark on the front element, near the retaining ring / name ring. The mark is about 1-2 mm across and has no affect what so ever on any photograph I've ever taken with this camera.
The mechanics are smooth and responsive, the optics sharp and clear.
I am asking $875 for the camera, which will include a B+W UV filter to protect the fresh optics, the original lens cap and an original Rollei strap with the alligator style clips. I'll throw in a Rolleifix tripod plate for free!
