Rollei 35 repair
I've inherited a Rollei 35 (Singapore Tessar). The aperture blades do not move when adjusting the dial and the meter doesn't work
Apart from that everything else seems to be in order. Are these big problems to fix yourself or would it be best sent off for a professional service? Thankyou for any advice |

Brian Mickleboro, who used to work for Rollei UK, is the best bet and his charges are very reasonable. He's looked at a couple of 35s, a SL66E, a MX-EVS and a 3003 for me in the past.

I would suggest getting it serviced by Newton Ellis in Liverpool. My 35S had parts missing from the meter and during a routine service they replaced the parts and reset the metering system to take the new silver oxide batteries all in the price of the service. Aperture blades are delicate and fiddly to set up and this is best left to the experts.
