Rolleiflex help

Does Krimar install Maxwell screens too? The screen on my Rolleiflex is very dim. Good outdoors, but indoors it is as dark as night! (kidding of course, but very very dim).

Yes they will install a maxwell screen. The repairman is quite good and very fast. I once sent him from the west coast a 35S that was inoperative and he had it back to me in 5 days total from the time I took it to the post office. I don't think you will go wrong with them.

Sounds good Dennis! Thanks. I will probably go with Krimar, but price can also be another factor. I'm hoping to stay under $400 dollars for a CLA and Maxwell screen installation. I paid $440 for the Rolleiflex alone :X

I've been thinking about adding another to start a small collection as well

Thanks Brian. It's good to know that I have other options. Did you get a CLA by Pro Camera Service? Harry's "overhaul" description seems quite thorough (a good thing). He makes me wonder how other shops will "CLA" my Rolleiflex.

Pro Camera Service in Thousand Oaks is excellent, they've kept my 6 Rolleis (plus my Leicas and my Hassleblad) running perfectly for many years (- since the 1960's) - and that includes rebuilding a basket case Baby Rollei that I bought on eBay in 1998.
