Rolleiflex Old Standard prewar German TLR camera CLA works Zeiss Tessar
If you wonder why I have same shipping to European union like for rest of world it is thetherefore because for these sales needs to be paid VAT to government. There is no option in ebay software how to set it I am using part of shipping charge (and still loosing on sales to EU). If you are from EU and you will purchase 2 or more items I will arrange for you special shipping charge that&...nbsp; can be lower like for heaviest item itself! If you are from Europe but not from European union or you have valid EU VAT No., do not pay and ask me for shipping charge mentioned bellow in description.
Famous old prewar TLR. One of the most classic TLR cameras. This type was made by Franke & Heidecke in Germany in years 1932-38.
Rolleiflex Standard variety are nice collector items. Camera still accepts push on filters, no bayonet mount.
I am overhauling them completely so they can be good users.
I purchased this camera like part of collection. Owner was physician physician by profession and according to his daughter, he was collecting cameras 70 years. Oh, no collecting. Decorating. Every camera, filter, lens looks like cross between parrot and toucan. You are looking at years of work. Ok, it is removable with acetone and patience, look at Super Ikonta I have in auction. It looked similar. But it needs time, lot of time, and it is is not healthy work trust me. Good thing is that I can do it outside. Ok, selling this camera is just test. Test how will you react. May be there are some collectors in world liking such curiosities and it will save me some time. I often see some functional modification, but this collector was not caring how his cameras are working, he was just decorating them. Even cases, everything.
Description:Ser. No. 340025. Viewfinder lens is Heidoscop-Anastigmat 3.1/75, uncoated, ser. No. 335096; camera lens Carl Zeiss Tessar 3.5/75, uncoated, stops up to 22, ser. No. 1571497. Shutter is famous Compur with speeds 1-1/500, T and B.
Cosmetically is this camera BARGAIN. Well, actually it is is nice, as minimum it was, but has all those fancy paint modification on it. There is added flash shoe and only real wear that I can see is on advance crank. I believe with acetone this everything is removable (well, in fact i know, I have some experiences with it) but it is terrible work that needs time..
With case dand cap.
I overhauled it completely therefore shutter works properly, shutter speeds look appropriate. Glass on lens is clean, no fungus, no scratches (nearly). Very good glass for this type. Focusing and stopping is smooth. Focusing screen OK. WLF is usable. I believe camera can still take nice pictures. Air mail shipping and handling charge is WORLDWIDE $41 - INSURED; to European countries those are not in European union)$26 REGISTERED (letter), it has automatic insurance coverage up to €50 (Euro) per packet, contact me, if higher insurance is required than use worldwide option. They do exist express options (EMS and business packet) to most countries of world however cost are different (expensive) you need ask about them separately.
If post will confirm that insured packet was lost or damaged (you need claim by delivery) I will replace it - when impossible refund the full amount. I need wait for post confirmation, too many crooks lately trying to have both item and money.
It is included in it incombinable $5 packing and handling charge that remains by combined shipping. Rest of charge I will combine and calculate just true shipping charge for packet to your country if you will purchase more items.
I have declared up to 10 days handling time for my items. I need this time to control and last time test every item, for items shipped out of European union put it in custom office that needs 2-3 days prepare documents and transfer packet to post office. Expected postal delivery time is usually up to 2 weeks but delays simple happens, for example in USA packet often need more days for security control in custom office. For these reasons I choose to check ebay shipping option "economy shipping ... 11-20 business days", I hope that you will get as quick as possible (in most cases you can calculate get packet 1.5-2 weeks after payment date if you are in European union, 2-3 weeks for rest of world) but really I can not affect work of custom and post offices worldwide anyway and delays can happen. Online trackable it is in some countries, for example USA, China, Japan. Contact me before making any Ebay or Paypal claim, PLEASE!
Combined shipping saves often costs per item considerably but not in all situations, ask about exact items. By very cheap item is possible ship uninsured - this will cost $3 less, but I will do it only if you will declare that you will not make any claim if packet will be lost by transport.Look at my other auctions for more camera items!
Greetings from Slovakia and happy bidding!
Sorry, usually I can't reply questions during Friday-Sunday. If is some difference between description and picture usually is mistake in description, by cameras, lenses, prisms, etc, picture always show actual item (some small items like extension tubes, flash shoes, etc can be exception). I will correct all links until Tuesday.
