Hi

Does anyone have recommendations or warnings about people who will service a Rolleiflex TLR - lens clean, shutter check, film transport, install a Maxwell screen - those sorts of things.

many thanks

Dan

Go to someone who regularly services Hasselblads or Bronicas or even Rolleiflex's...

I'm not sure I can see a warning for them.

At one point, I'd have had a recommendation for someone, but not only was he in Sydney, but he died a year or two ago.

That would be problematic. :)

Dan, any reputable camera service centre should be able to handle this. The Rollei isn't a particularly complex piece of hardware.

I think it's Anderson's in Brissie that are the Maxwell's service rep? That would probably be a good starting point for you.

Thanks Gary. I'll give Maxwells a call.

In the meantime has anyone on the list used one of the US gurus in the field of maintaining the Rolleiflex TLR? I have read of Harry Fleenor and a guy on the East coast whose name escapes me. They came highly recommended in some chat sites.
