Overall Condition: Grade: B-
Lens condition: Grade: C- (seperation)
Overview:
- Tele Rolleiflex 6x6 Medium Format TLR Camera
- Equipped with Carl Zeiss Sonnar 135mm f/4 Taking Lens and Heidosmat Viewing Lens
- Includes original lens hood and leather case
Condition:
Cosmetic:
The camera body is in good condition with noticeable signs of use. The leather covering shows light wear, but the overall appearance is consistent with a well-used vintage camera.
Mechanical:
The film advance and automatic frame spacing functions work as intended. The shutter operates normally at faster speeds, but slower speeds are slightly inaccurate and would benefit from a CLA. Both the shutter speed and aperture dials operate smoothly.
Optical:
The Carl Zeiss Sonnar 135mm lens exhibits separation issues, which may affect optical performance under certain conditions. The Heidosmat viewing lens is in similar condition. While the lenses show signs of aging, the camera remains usable for less critical applications.
Metering:
The built-in light meter is non-functional, requiring an external meter for accurate exposure settings.
