Rolleiflex SLX Medium Format Film SLR Camera with Rollei HFT 80mm F/2.8 Planar Lens, Charger, Battery, Cord
Here we have a gorgeous Rolleiflex SLX with Rollei HFT 80mm F/2.8 Planar lens, battery, battery charger, and cable. It is in great condition cosmetically and is mechanically excellent and fully functional.
The Rolleiflex SLX works perfectly. The LEDs in the viewfinder area light up as they should, and the metering system works perfectly. The Auto-exposure system is accurate and functional, and 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, with minor blemishes from use which do not impact operation. The focusing screen can be changed - the one installed in this camera is the microprism focusing screen with grid-line pattern. The focus magnifier works perfectly and is in beautiful shape. The sports finder works as it should.
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 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, however there is some delamination of an internal lens element which I have shown in the product shot for this listing. I have tested the camera and this lens blemish does not impact photos, however it is not a perfect lens and is therefore being sold at a discount. 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.
It will be carefully packaged and shipped immediately.As discussed. Guaranteed fully functional, etc.
