Many thanks to Denny and BR for the helpful suggestions. That little differential does sound a bit intimidating, but do I actually need to disturb it? All I want to do is unscrew the front element of the lens to clean it and to access the shutter to very gently clean it. I found your earlier thread, BR, and noticed that you suggested setting the camera to 1/500 an f22 for reassembly, but i'm sure I've read elsewhere that the aperture should be set to the maximum (f3.5). Perhaps it will be obvious when I actually see it. Perhaps I should tackle one of the other Rolleiflexes first. I have a 2.8E with a shutter which has stuck in the not-quite-closed position. One more thing. I've just noticed that one of my cameras is missing the retaining ring for the flash socket. Is it the same part as the retaining ring for the shutter release button, and does anybody have any idea where i might get hold of one? |
