I know someone who is offering to sell me a Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar Type 2 at a price that is really good (going by that well-known Rolleiflex price guide on the web anyway). The only problem is that he says that meter does not work (there is a slight crack in it). It is, apparently, otherwise in good condition and working order. Two questions:
1. Can the meters on these things be fixed? If, for example, I sent it for a CLA is this something that can be rectified.
2. If not, does a non-functioning meter drastically affect the resale value of it?
I can live without a working meter since, as I understand, you are better off with a hand-held meter anyway with these sorts of cameras. But, I am not sure if a TLR is going to suit me (though I am anxious to try one out) and I therefore may want to sell it on if it doesn't, hence the resale value is an issue ....
