For nearly 30 years I, and many of my friends, have had nothing but the best service from Rollei. It is fast, reliable, conscientious, and courteous whether across a counter or over the telephone. Like Jim, my problems have been with used gear, bought from individuals who talked a great story about their gear, but wouldn't know how to find a service dept. for a routine CLA from their you know what. As far as using anything other than a Rollei, well, why even waste arguing about it. I've owned Fuji, Mamiya, Konica, Rollop, Ikonta, Graphic, tried Pentax, and Hasselblad in MF. But nothing makes a photo editor, and me at times, pause like looking at chromes or B/W squares from a Rollei. I still get asked, after all these years, what am I shooting with. For great, and I mean great, Rollei prices give Samy's a call. They been buying up other dealers inventories and blowing the stuff out the door. All with US warranty.
