Will using the same type of Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera that Vivian Maier used for most of her absolutely brilliant street photography make you as good an artist as she? Perhaps not, but it can't hurt! This Rollei, an Automat MX (factory designation: K.4 A), has obviously been lovingly cared for over the years since it was built in 1953 - it's truly pristine, with smoothly operating controls. Its serial number, 1268619, indicates that it was one of the first Automat MX's to inco...rporate two improvements all subsequent Rolleis used through the end of TLR production: light baffles to reduce reflected light in the film chamber behind the taking lens, and a groove in the base hub to allow mating with the accessory Rollei tripod head. The 75mm f/3.5 Carl Zeiss Tessar taking lens (serial #900373) is, like the rest of the camera, absolutely gorgeous, with no fog, fungus, scratches or cleaning marks. The Synchro-Compur shutter speeds sound spot-on to my ear. This listing also includes some nice accessories: Rollei "mirror" lens covers, the correct Bay-1 Rollei lens hood and its leather case, a cased Rollei light yellow Bay-1 filter, Spiratone green and yellow Bay-1 filters, a Tiffen soft focus filter in Bay-1, Carl Zeiss Proxar 1 and 2 close-up lenses in Bay-1, and a Bay-1 Yashica skylight filter in a Rollei leather case(!). With a nice original Rollei leather camera case and strap, two original Rollei manuals, and the 31st edition (1959) of W.D. Emanuel's Rolleiflex Guide. About 6 lbs packed for safe shipment from zip 55073. I ship once a week (assuming payment has been made), on Thursdays. If payment is not received within 5 days of the listing's end, the item will be relisted and eBay notified of a nonpaying bidder. Check my feedback (I've been buying and selling on eBay since 1999) and deal with confidence.
