I have just bought a well-used Rollei 35B (Singapore) in a junk shop. All working well except for one thing: the film advance lever has to be wound on TWICE before the shutter is cocked, and on the first stroke, the shutter actually fires at the end of the stroke. On the second stroke it primes the shutter correctly (which then fires correctly as required). Also, about 50% of the time the shutter leaves do not close properly leaving a pinhole at the centre. Questions: 1) Does this camera usually require two strokes to advance the film and prime the shutter, and 2) Can this be fixed easily? Thanks/Colin |
