For Sale FS: Rolleiflex Type 3

[Mark Crabtree]

This was my primary 120 film camera until a got a 2.8 F this winter. It shows lots of use and finish wear, but works fine. The lens performs very well (knocked my quite nice Autocord right off its throne). The film advance and shutter have worked reliably.

Rolleiflex Automat Model 3 with coated Schneider Xenar lens. User condition with plenty of finish wear, but lens is clean and everything works well. Includes an original Rollei hinged lens cap.

$165 plus shipping. Payment by PayPal as a "gift". US only. Preference to Apug regulars (I mention this only because I've had some suspicious inquiries and offers in the past).

Why "US only"

Why US only? - If you can pack a camera in a box to send to the other side of the USA you can surely do the same using USPS international mail to Australia - Payment is just as safe for intra USA or international PayPal or whatever

I apologize for the inconvenience. I've had some serious problems with work related overseas shipments in the past couple years. Twice it has taken nearly the better part of a year to sort out. If I were a professional seller I'd have to find a way to deal with this, but I'm just trying to clear out a few things and put a few $ into the photo fund.

I hate to exclude anyone, but need to keep this simple. Thanks for your interest.

Price reduced.

I don't know if it is the cosmetics, or the price that has kept this from selling quickly. I can only change one of those, so ...

$150 plus shipping (details in first post)

This has been a nice working camera for me; I made a good dent in my Verichrome Pan stockpile with it last year. I've never had any problems with it, but don't need it now that I've gotten a 2.8F.

These a good step up from a Rolleicord with better ergonomics and brighter viewing. This camera surprised me because it was slightly sharper than the Minolta Autocords I've had (3) and those are known for their good lenses. I was working on a reshoot of any old Walker Evans photo when I switched from the Autocord to this Rolleiflex. Trying to match an 8x10 contact print with 120 really showed up the (slight) differences between the cameras.

Various pm's going back and forth, but I'm surprised to say that it looks like the Rollei is still available.

 

[Mark Crabtree]

Thanks to everyone who pm'd. It led to some interesting and fun conversations.
