Rolleiflex 6008 Professional Medium Format Film SLR Camera with Schneider Kreuznach Xenotar HFT PQ 80mm F/2.8 Lens, Charger, Battery, Cord
Here we have a gorgeous Rolleiflex 6008 Professional Medium Format Film SLR Camera with Schneider Kreuznach Xenotar HFT PQ 80mm F/2.8 lens, battery, battery charger, and cable. It is in perfect condition cosmetically and is mechanically excellent.
I reviewed this camera here (and used the very camera that is being sold here).
The Rolleiflex 6008 Professional works perfectly with one small detraction, and that is that the LCD panel inside the viewfinder area is not perfect. We are selling the camera for a discount because of this. The LCD lights do not illuminate some LCD segments, so it is difficult to read the LCD, however the metering system and autoexposure works as it should. The LEDs in the viewfinder area light up as they should, and the metering system works perfectly. Tested with film it behaved perfectly. When shot in manual mode, the camera similarly works without problems.
Automatic film advance is fast and smooth. The shutter works perfectly and the mirror assembly actuates with precision. The controls are beautiful and click nicely. The depth of field preview works as it should, and both shutter release buttons are nice and responsive. The lens mount is clean and undamaged, and mounts a lens tightly. The viewfinder is very nice, and the hood comes off of the camera and installs onto the camera tightly. The focusing screen is bright and clear. The focusing screen can be changed - the one installed in this camera is the focusing screen with grid-line pattern. The focus magnifier works perfectly and is in beautiful shape.
The film compartment and insert are both clean and without damage or debris. The door closes perfectly and does not let in any light.
The Xenotar Schneider Kreuznach HFT PQ 80mm F/2.8 is an incredible lens. It makes simply amazing pictures. This lens typically lists for about $900 alone.
The lens is in great condition. The focus ring spins with perfect weight. The aperture ring clicks into its detents nicely in manual mode, and it works as it should when locked into Auto mode. The bayonet mount is pristine. The glass is in excellent condition without fungus or haze or scratches. The leaf shutter blades are free of oil and corrosion and actuate perfectly at all shutter speeds.
The camera, generally speaking, is tight and solid. All mechanisms are unworn, and the film door clicks into its locked position with excellent force. The feet are intact and the tripod mount is unmarred. The pressure plate is in great condition.
This is one of the best cameras I’ve ever used.
It will be carefully packaged and shipped immediately.As discussed. Guaranteed fully functional, etc.
