Heya gang!
Today I got a rolleiflex on the mail, first taste of medium format. Exciting!
It looks to be in good shape, bought it from an old man who apparently spontaneously bought it from a garage sale over 30 years ago. Shutter works, but it's a but unreliable on slower shutter speeds, nothing weird.
It's a Rolleiflex K4 by the looks of it, they're hard to tell apart... The only thing actually bothering me would be that the dial for the shutter speed is very hard to turn between 1/250s - 1/500s. So much that I have to use both hands to turn it.
Do you guys know of a smart fix for this? Do I have to send it in for repair or do I just need some oil?
Thanks!
