I received an amazing Rolleiflex 2.8F from Alex at www.magicflexcamera.com. A special rebuilding project for this camera; although in good condition, it was completely rebuilt. Alex was sending me pictures throughout the intricate process.
Alex said, “The amount of work is greater than the usual overall CLA, I check out the complete camera and take it fully apart, bring all the internal parts and adjustments back to the factory condition or even improve the factory settings, test all functions, clean, renew, re-lubricate, and readjust the whole camera), therefore all functions work accurately and even smoother than from the factory, the focus is adjusted to the film plane and also film tested on the special stand for excellent focus accuracy.”
A remarkable amount of time and effort went into making this a perfect example of the legendary 2.8F! (All images from Alex.) I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all of Alex’s efforts and hard work on this camera.It is wonderful to behold and to hold in the hand!
I have a project in January using this gem. It is the first time using the TLR camera that was the favorite of so many legendary photographers. I’m sure it will be a challenge and I look forward to posting the work.
