Default Have Rollei, need advice


A good friend of mine is just getting started in medium format, with
the very similar (in features and vintage) 3.5F. She's having a blast.

I would encourage you to consider getting the camera CLA's (Cleaned,
Lubricated, and Adjusted) before any serious use. While my friend felt
hers was working OK, she was amazed how much better the shutter
sounded, and how smoothly the transport and other controls felt after
this was done.

After all, the camera is probably worth $800 USD. The servce cost my
friend about $250 (in the pacific northwest), and she's glad of every
penny.
