Dropping price to $560.

Hi All, Apologies for not responding sooner. I thought I would get notices of posts here in my email and have not gotten them. Thanks to all who sent in suggestions. I UNCOVERED THE PROBLEM per MattKing's suggestion. I had been loading the film with the magazines attached. (Rollei's manual...

This is the version of the 150mm with a leaf shutter. 2025 CLA in Europe so all in working order. Clean glass. Uncommon lens, especially in this condition. Includes front and rear Rollei lens caps. $395 or B.O. net to me. I will cover shipping in the lower 48.

Rock sold head with the desired lever clamp. No problems whatsoever--no scratches, dings, etc. Conservatively rated to hold 66lbs. Comes with Gitzo Arca-Swiss type plate. $375 Net to me and I cover shipping in Continental US. PayPal only.

Yes, I turn the nob on the magazine, not the camera crank.😄

Great legs in great condition. Very clean and rock-solid carbon fiber tripod. All the legs are tight and without scratches or gouges on carbon fiber or rubber. The only marks I see are light rubs on the apex rubber where heads are attached (as expected). Here are the details from B&H...

According to the SL66 manual (and Youtube videos) there is no correct place to load the arrows. Instead, there is an automatic sensor in the magazines that stops the initial winding. I have advanced the arrows as far as the take-up spool and it doesn't solve the problem.

Really enjoy my SL66 except for one annoying issue. When I insert a new roll of film the winding mechanism on the magazine apparently stops before reaching actual film. My first 2 1/2 exposures are onto the paper backing of the roll. I get the same results on both magazines I own. I sent the...

Thank you so much, John. It sounds like a different back might give me a different result. In any case, I need to get a CLA for another problem in the camera. Rob

Thank you so much! From what I read,that was my hunch. So kind of you to look for the material. Have a good breakfast!

Yep. Read that. That's not the problem I am having, but thanks.
