I've had Harry rebuild a 2.8E Planar and a 2.8F 12/24 Planar and the price was about what you paid with Grasoff. Fleenor charges by what needs doing though. Neither has worked on a Rollei 35 for me. Harry also worked for F&H for some time, and has a large inventory of spare parts too. I really think that is going to be a key to repairing these wonderful cameras in the future. I hope both gentlemen stick around for a long long time. I'm sure they both have more work than they can handle. Also, let's not forget Marflex in New Jersey -- which is the "official" Rollei repair center. Dante A Stella wrote: > > Heinz does good work - and I can vouch for that.
