The lens seems out of alignment.

Rob. I haven't had Gary service a Rollei, but send him an email....he's done some amazing work for me and others.... lensmedicyyc.com
 
While I didn't had a Rollei in service with them (but a Minolta SRT and a Pentax 645): Another vote for Service Caméra Pro.

Are his prices reasonable? How's his turnaround time? I need the shutter in my Rolleicord looked at... speeds slower than 1/30th not reliable. Thanks!
 
The Pentax 645 was $275+tax 2 years ago done by Rene, the Minolta SRT last year was $175+tax and done by his colleague Normand. This one arrived back with a minor issue, which they fixed fast. And some other work, not full CLA on an Agfa Ambi Silette was $125+tax, by Rene.
I have the feeling Rene is doing the more complex or rare models, but not sure. With him it took about 2 months, Normand faster (shipped these two last year together).

They are open only Tuesday to Thursday. Call before you ship to them.
 
Factory Camera in Vancouver did a CLA on my MX-EVS. 2 month turn around. Very reasonable rates. Great guy to deal with.
