Hi, do you have this problem with all lenses or with only one lens? The shutter has been built into the lens. Can it be that the lens/camera contacts need cleaning?

A week ago I bought a 50 years old 40 mm HFT (from the SLX generation) and indeed after 6 photo's the camera ceased to work. I think the lens hadn't been used for decades as after 10 times decoupling of the lens from the camera the contacts had been cleaned and the lens/camera started to work...

Yes, finally some love for the Rollei 6006! I bought a used 6006 (and a SLX for back-up) + 50, 80 and 150 mm lenses in 1993. They made lovely pictures. In 2005 I quit analogue photography but didn't sell my gear. A month ago I discovered a workshop that rebuilt the Rollei batteries. I was hugely...
