Rolleiflex 3.5F Planar Type 1 K4D [2215485]

Condition

Mechanical: Hood, loupe and eye-level mirror all working. Focus regreased and smooth. Wind mechanism and frame counter all working. Shutter is accurate across the range of speeds, with the exception of 1/500 which runs slightly too slow, operating at around 1/300, although it is consistent. Front standard aligned

Optical: Viewing lens clean and clear. Taking lens certainly usable, but has small surface marks on the front element, and a couple of marks on the rear. Internally is reasonably good, has a few specks of dust but no major haze. No fungus. Disassembled and cleaned as best possible. Focusing screen has some marks.

Cosmetic: Cosmetically reasonable for the age, with minor signs of use and wear. Impact damage to hood which has been touched up by a previous owner.

Electronic: Light meter non-functional. Meter assembly has been replaced with a capping off piece.
