I am not a Rollei TLR specialist (after all this is a Leica forum ;-) and so maybe I am wrong, but the seller stated that the thing is a *close-up* lens for a *Tele*-Rolleiflex and you sound to me as if you were expecting to get a mutar (like a tele extender) for a normal Rolleiflex. Are you really sure the elements are plane? I suspect close-up lenses for a tele-rollei with a longer focal length need to have less dioptrien than those for a normal rolleiflex. If my assumptions are wrong, I really feel sorry for you - too bad you already posted a positive feedback :-( Regards, Alex (Germany) > Hi dear LUG'ers, > > this time is to tell a negative experience I had at eBay. > basically I'm the jerk but the seller is the SOB. > his name and email address is: > > WilWatty <wilwatty@earthlink.net> > > and his eBay ID is > > shamta > > The item I got from him was listed under the following > > # 1366983677. > > I'm speaking of a nice Tele Rolleinar 0.7. > > I won the auction at an interesting pricing for what a Tele Rolleinar is. > I asked a friend in NY to send payment to the seller, thing done > immediately > after the auction ended 'cause I wanted to have the item sent the sooner > to > my friend.
