Hi Dan,

Sorry to hear about your experience with him as mine was excellent, though it was with a 3.5F, not a 2.8C. Regardless of tech choice, I hope this gift gets serviced properly and enjoyed for years to come.

Oh, man... don't make me do it again. Not Zenotar, but XENOTAR.

In SoCal there are a couple of places to consider: Oceanside Camera (Fleenor) in Manhattan Beach, Steve's Camera Repair in Culver City, and Pro Camera Service in Thousand Oaks. Other folks recommend Sammy's too.

Sorry to do this to you Brian but it is "Samy's" not "Sammy's"
I use "Pro Camera Service" in Thousand Oaks as they are very good and just a few miles from my home here in Moorpark. Howard Tanger

"Gents, where can I get it CLA'd?"

Seeing everybody else is correcting you, I will too. There are ladies here as well as gentlemen, some of whom even repair cameras.

No problem; thanks for the correction. I deserved that... and you gave me the first chuckle of the morning (which hasn't been a good one so far).

Hope your day improves Mate...

Enjoy the camera; get it fixed, and run lots of film through it.

I have a lot of cameras [how many? 10-12?] but the Rollei takes the cake as my favorite. If there is a problem when I use it, it's almost certainly with the the person behind the viewfinder

Yeah, I'm a big fan of Rolleiflex, love my 2.8F

Was out for dinner at a friends last night, they invited us over because they "have something you'll like". When I arrived, they handed me an old
leather case, inside was the ROLLEI, in beautiful shape, along with lens hood, filters, an old GE light meter and other various accoutrement.

Gave it a quick cleaning and reminded myself on its operation...had played with them years ago when working in a camera shop. How cool.
Funny thing is, I'd just finished watching "Finding Vivian Maier".

You have a tough live so now you have to enjoy it {grin}
