    Description

    Up for sale is a pristine condition Rolleiflex 2.8E TLR camera with a recent CLA by Harry Fleenor. Along with the camera, the sale includes the original brown leather camera case and lens cap.
    The camera was CLA'd in April 2019 and has only had 1 roll put through it since the CLA (total of maybe 5 rolls in its time with me). It was an aspiration of mine to shoot with this camera more, but the reality is it sat mostly in the cabinet. For anyone looking for a very reliable TLR with some of the best glass and mechanics available, AND one that is ready to go without having to wait for a CLA, this is the one.
    The reason for sale is simply that I did not use it enough. It is time for this beautiful camera to find another home!
    About the CLA by Harry Fleenor (see last photo for full documentation)
    For those unfamiliar, Harry Fleenor is one of the best and most highly sought after Rolleiflex CLA folks out there. At the time of my CLA request, there was a wait time of 3 months. The camera was received by Harry on January of 2019 and sent back to me in April 2019. In addition to the cleaning and lubrication, this particular camera had the shutter and self timer overhauled, transport overhauled, bent foot repaired, and a Maxwell split micro grid screen installed.
    Please read the provided documentation of the CLA regarding defects at receipt to understand the state of this camera. Please note that the lens defects noted by Harry are minor and do not affect the quality of the photos, as verified by Harry himself via email communication. Only the finger smudge/cleaning mark is visible upon close inspection (I was not able to capture it in a photo for this listing). The camera's light meter does not function.
    In addition to the CLA, I requested that a Maxwell screen be installed, which is an extra bright screen making it easier to focus on and view the subject.
    The current cost of the CLA by Harry is roughly 0 and the Maxwell Screen was an additional 0. The screen is tough to come by nowadays. These extras are priced in.
    Given the little time I have used this camera, it is basically still fresh from the CLA and ready to have many rolls put through it. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and I will do my best to get back to you in a timely manner.
