This is a first version Tele-Rolleiflex with the 135mm Sonnar lens. A very sweet lens, but I need the money more than another camera that gets used rarely. I have overhauled this camera- shutter, focus, wind are all cleaned and lubed and working smoothly. All in all the body is pretty clean. One ding on the upper right lens shroud corner. Screen is the Rollei Fresnel (no split). Hood is for the Tele and workks well.
Two issues. One, when I got it there was no bayonet on the taking lens. I have modified another bayonet and installed it. You can read about this here-

This allows for the lens cap (tarnished mirror, inlcuded) to fit in place, a mutar to be used, or a lens hood to be used.
Which leads to the second issue- separation in the taking lens. The last two photos try to show this but I found it hard to get good photos of it. The first shot shows it from about the 1:4 mark around to above the Carl. It is pretty much all aorund this section, nowhere extending in further than you see. The last shot shows the separation on the other side of the lens. This isn't the only Tele-Rolleiflex out there with lens separation; it seems to happen a lot. And people find it doesn't affect the images- my experience shows this, including trying to get it to flare or show effects shooting into the sun, etc. Other than this, the lens is pretty clean, no scratches, etc.
$975 obo, including US shipping, paypal.
Happy to answer any questions, etc.
