Rolleiflex SL 35 M slow shutter speed

[LuckyMe]

Hello everyone,
I just bought an Rolleiflex SL 35 M in a very good condition, but I think that has a shutter problem. Seems to have slow speed even if I set the speed at 1/1000 or at any speed I set it. What could be the issue?. It`s fixable?. And the shutter sound is different from my other Rolleiflex SL35. Thank you. PS: I will try to upload a video tomorrow.

Very different camera than the SL35. No similarities, not even designed by Rollei.

The basics, however, still apply. Make sure the mechanism is smooth and the curtains are both tensioned appropriately.

Hello everyone,
I take few short videos for you to see how the camera handels when is set to Bulb Mode. I will attach a video foe every issue that I think the camera have. There are zip files, so you have to download and watch.

And here is a video filmed through the viewfinder to see the speed of 1/1000

My experience is that before you go and tension the closing curtain spring, it will be worthwhile to clean the whole moving mechanism for both the first and second curtains.

If you clean things up it may not need more shutter tension. That would be a logical place to start, along with firing the shutter repeatedly on all its speeds.

Thanks for the advice.

Thank you. I will give it a try.
