#Rolleiflex 2.8 rolleikin full#
If you have serviced Compur 00 shutters in the past then removing it from the camera and reinstalling it will be harder than a full tear down CLA on the shutter. The shutter is a common Synchro Cmpur only modified with the face plate, aperture lever and shutter cocking lever changed. The complete lens/shutter assembly has to be removed to replace/repair that light block. The rear cell has a longish housing tube that slides through the light block as shown in post 38 photos. The front plate has to be removed to remove the shutter which requires resetting the parallex adjustment for the view mirror on reassembly.Īll Rollei I have serviced disassemble basically the same.įirst off a Rollei does not have a bellows. The rear cell retaining ring will likely be on the shutter side of the cell barrel. Once the cells are removed from the shutter the retaining ring for the elements unscrew from the cell barrels and may be secured with a clear thread locker that dissolves with acetone. The front cell of the taking lens unscrews from the shutter and the rear cell should unscrew from the rear through the image box area (camera back opening).
Infinity focus will have to be reestablished with the taking lens focused at the film plane on reassembly. Loosen the set screw for the view lens then unscrew the view lens from the front frame. To remove the front cover lift up the leatherette, remove it, then remove the 6 screws holding the face to the front frame. Remove the view hood and check the mirror as it can be the source of what you are seeing in the view lens. Use the 2.8E or 2.8F instructions as your guide.

I would expect that they were doing something similar with their shot at getting their lenses in Rollei's updated models (remember, the 2.8 Tessars from Zeiss after the war were pulled from the market because of quality problems).Ĭlick to expand.All Rollei I have serviced disassemble basically the same.ĭownload this service manual from my google drive: So they were running high quality control on the Xenars, making precise matched pairs. Someone wrote somewhere (yep, internet 'someone somewhere'!) that Schneider was determined to get a foothold in Rollei after Zeiss was knocked out and trying to rebuild after the war. The Xenars on Rolleiflexes from this period are great lenses. I would hesitate to mix and match groups on Schneider lenses from the early '50s. And no, the lens set nor rear group only are not for sale.
I can put photos up tomorrow if anyone is interested. Sometimes lens elements need brass broken away and then reformed to mount again. Not like you can cut threads in glass for the retaining ring?Īnyway, just to make you look into the actual mount and what might be involved. I cannot see how the rear element will come out. The rear element is wider than the front element area, and projects outside of the mount upwards. There is one obvious retaining ring (two holes) on the interior side. I have a set of taking lenses, Xenotar 2.8 from a C.
