    Welcome Eamonn
    You'll love the T. If you look in the gallery you'll find a few pictures i have taken with mine. The Tessar draws a very sweet image.
    Regards

    Just collected my Rolleiflex T in the post today.. Happy Days as I plunge headlong into the world of MF photography. (Might take a while to get used to the reversed image thing tho, I keep panning the wrong way!)

    I'm glad to have stumbled on this group, too. The world of TLR is one I'm still very new to, but this looks like a good place to kick the subject around.

    Hi Folks,
    I've been using a Rolleiflex 3.5F for many years. Just had a very major repair/overhaul done in the UK by Newton Ellis in Liverpool, including the removal of a large dent in the base of the camera. It's now like new and oh so sweet. On the subject of portraiture, I don't think the Rolleinars are the best way to go. At distances of less than around 5 feet the face will take on an exagerated perspective ie. enlarged nose,or forehead/chin when shooting from a higher/lower angle, even much more pronounced when using close-up lenses. By far the best way is to selectively enlarge the required portion of the negative.

    Hi I just had one done on my T by Brian Mickleboro (based in UK). He did a nice job cleaning and re-lube of the shutter, and wind mechanism.
    He also checked the focus between the view and taking lenses.
    Price £87 UKP including postage.

    Depends on who and where. I had a CLA done on my E2 about 5 months ago and that was around £100 / $160. But the camera was suffering from lack of use, it had only ever had a few films through it when new in the early 60's. US prices for a CLA are usually a little less than UK.

    What does a CLA run for a Rollei? Mine is acting a little funky - the locking lever for the door doesn't want to swivel all the way, but it does lock the door shut. I also had problems with flash sync - every other shot I took did not trigger the studio strobes I was using, connected via a pc cord (though this COULD be a problem with the strobe setup - the strobe I had to plug in to via wire didn't like the WIEN remote trigger at all). The shutter was sluggish in cold weather as well, so I figure it's time to send it off for a thorough maintenance cycle.

    The E2 accepts the prism just as the E3 does. I am not sure of the exact production story but as I understand it the E2 and E3 were still being made awhile after the F was introduced. The E3 is generally without a meter. I used to have an E2 w 2.8 Xenotar and optical glass back that I got at a camera show for 600USD in mint condition. Not knowing the rarity and real value of the camera as a collector I merrily used it a few years nicking it up and getting great images from it until I decided I loved it so much I wanted the best Rollei there was (I wasn't even aware of the lens options at the time). So I put that E2 on ebay, now no longer mint and having a good scratch on the back, and I was shocked when it sold for over 1400USD. With which I bought a 2.8F Planar.
