Nice camera.
Which lens Planar or Xenotar? Both perform similarly. The planar can bring more money.
These cameras generally need a service if they have been sitting for a while. Things can freeze up unexpectedly unless they see regular use.
Expect between $800-$1300 depending on condition and function.
I just got added a Rolleiflex T f3.5 Tessar to my flock of TLR's.
Headed out now to do a test roll _________________ Moderator |

Yeah, dreamed off! That is the version with Zeiss Planar isn't it?
Must be nice to give it a try. Wish you pleasure with that.
Waiting for some new Budapest pictures.
I recently got a humble Flexaret IVa, with Belar. Doesn't work yet, needing some repair.
Just an other league, I think. |

Oh bummer. The camera I tested last night jammed when I went to put a tool through it at frame 5. Mine will need an overhaul of the transport
I guess we have bad luck together.
The F you have is an early F.
I'm sure you know but just in case Loading procedure is:
Film under first roller
Leader into empty spool
Thumb on full roll while winding start line to first roller (thumb to keep it tight)
Once film start line is at first roller close the back and lock the door.
Wind film to first frame.
If this is not working then there is an issue with the transport and it will need an overhaul
Old camera bring joy and work for many! _________________ Moderator |

Really?
What sort of film so I may avoid it for TLR use?
I've had a problem with counter and film thickness creating frame overlap in old roll film backs.
Never have had an issue in the Rollei or Yashicamat though. It mud be very thin. _________________ Moderator |

Finally I found issue I didn't load properly , it has a rotating metal stick I did load film above instead of under and make proper contact to counter wheel. I did call Charles my repair man and he did let me know don't need to worry _________________ -------------------------------
