Hello. I recently bought my first Medium Format camera. An Rolleiflex T and it seems that the ISO knob is not working. Means, I'm not able to set the ISO speed or the type of the film I'm using. I'm able to turn the whole inner wheel around (back and forth), but nothing changes on settings. So my question is does anybody can tell me would it be easy to open the knob (I see three little screws) and I could repair it myself or is it too complicated? I would proabably need the Rolleiflex T repair manual aswell...Anybody has a clue where to get this one? Thank you in advance!

Check your manual, and make sure that altering the ISO knob is supposed to do anything.
It was common at the time when the T was introduced for ISO dials to be a reminder of what you had loaded, rather than have a mechanical function. The T was a high-spec camera, so I may be talking complete spherical objects here, but that would be the first thing I would check.

If it does not have a lightmeter mounted in the knob the dial is, as Adrian says, merely to remind you what film you loaded. |
