I am just curious to see if anyone knows anything about Rollei's on here.

I was given a Rollei TLR by a good friend who was moving out of state and just trying to offload some stuff. She said that the last she knew that the Rollei leaked in light a little bit. Is that easy to be fixed? What other info can i get on it?

    Take it to a camera shop and have them check the camera seals. Have them test the shutter speeds to see if they are still accurate. Test the flash sync to make sure it is still working. Work the aperture yourself to make sure no leaves are sticking. Test the winder to see if takeup is OK. Check the lenses for any fogging due to mold or mildew.

    If the camera passes all of that then run a test roll of different subjects, checking focus accuracy (usually not a problem but you want to check before shooting anything serious.)
