Oh, just a word of forewarning - Harry Fleenor is VERY busy and you'll have a two to three month wait to get the camera back. Don't fall too much in love with it before you give it to him to service, or you'll never be able to part with it that long.

Hah, it's funny that you should mention that because I was thinking exactly the same thing. I actually emailed him yesterday about bringing it in when I visit southern California at the end of them month and he quoted about a six week turnaround. I'll miss it, but at least I have a Hasselblad back home to play with while I'm waiting. Although, if I mailed it it soon, I could have it back in time to use it over winter break... hmm decisions...

Gorgous camera and what a deal. These little dynamos can realy shoot beautiful photographs. I got mine serviced by Fleenor and they came back like a fine tune swiss watch. Worth the wait. If you ask me.. I think the Rolleiflex TLR is the best camera ever made.
