NICE Vintage ROLLEIFLEX T Twin Lens TLR Camera w/75mm Zeiss Tessar +Case & STRAP

Description: First let me say--- I know only a superficial amount about Rolleiflex cameras---- I've had a few over the years but never actually used one in practice. (back in my TLR days about 35 years ago, I had a Yashica Mat). But I do know that Rolleis are amazingly engineered, but they can also be a bit quirky. This one has a bit of a different feature regarding the exposure setting--- I don't know all the permutations of how it works, but I expect you will. So... looking up the serial number this is a Very Nice one from the late 1950's--- A Rolleiflex Model T, type 1 with f/3.5 75mm Carl Zeiss Tessar lens. From what I read, they made them with black leather and Grey Leather. This one is two-tone--- Grey in the front, black all around--- it's a bit of an enigma. Anyway... I expect you'll know more about it than I do---- please check out the pictures from all angles and the Serial Number. It's Not Mint condition--- it's lightly used but still Very Nice and it looks to be working well. Cosmetically, it's in Very Nice Condition---- with a few light signs of use--- some very minor wear and tear, but No big Damage except the back DOF Plate/chart is a little banged up. Also a tiny bit of paint/trim wear in a couple spots, but not much to be concerned about at all. Mechanically.... the shutter works extremely well--- the timed speeds sound/look good all the way down to 1 second--- maybe that one is a touch slower, but the others sound spot-on. The lens Glass is in Excellent shape---- clean and very clear with brilliant coatings--- maybe a spec or two of dust inside, but I can't see anything, and no haze, fungus or other problems than I can see. The view lens looks just about perfect too. The mirror might have a few specs of dust but when using the viewfinder magnifyer--- everything looks great---- bright and clear. The aperture looks great too and the focus and winding is smooth as butter. And it's clean inside the film chamber. So all things considered, it seems to be working great! So it has not been fully tested beyond what I describe and what is shown in the photos--- and the shutter speeds have not been calibrated/bench tested. So no guarantees that it's in 100% like-new condition, but it should still be good to shoot pictures with as it sits. So there it is--- no mystery--- what you see is what you'll get--- please examine the photos. It also includes the plastic Lens Cap and the Leather fitted Case (a little stressed in spots). AND.... I just found the OEM Leather Strap with Lugs. ( It doesn't want to connect with the camera in the case, so you'll have to deal with that. ) Continental US Shipping will be $15.50. It will be packed well and safe--- a sturdy box with lots of padding and tape. Shipped with a Signature on Delivery service. International Shipping via the ebay program. PLEASE READ THIS--- By Buying this, you also Agree with this: Reality check.... I am not Amazon or a professional Store seller--- just a camera collector and collector of various other things selling a surplus of Used items. I'm not here trying to rip anybody off or sneak one past you. But that said... I'm not into having things go back and forth based on Opinion, Inflated Expectations or risk "part swapping" either. So it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Buyer's Remorse, No Try-outs, No Returns--- Sold as a Vintage Used collectible that is Not in 100% new condition and may have slight difficiencies. I sell OLD, Used items and I try to be detailed and truthful, but I can't describe every millimeter of it, so there may be a nick or blemish or a couple specs of dust that I failed to mention... and sometimes I miss something... so please don't be unreasonable and expect it to be 100% Perfect and Like New.
