Rollei Rolleiflex 3.5 B (type K4B) 6x6, from 1954

DETAILS: Rolleiflex 3.5 B (type K4B) Synchro-Compur analog medium-format photo Camera. Franke & Heidecke of Braunschweig, Germany 1954 production. Serial number (body): 1428200. Format: 12 exposures of 6x6 cm on 120 type roll film Taking lens: Carl Zeiss Tessar 1:3.5 f=75mm, coated Viewing lens: Heidosmat 1:2.8 f=75mm, coated Filter Bayonet: Both lenses, size 1 Exposure adjustments with an Exposure Value Scale (EVS) Parallax error correction Shutter: Synchro-Compur MX CR00 leaf shutter. Speeds 1 to 1/500 sec. and B. Flash synchronization: Sync socket on the front panel. M and X synchronization Self-timer Double exposure prevention Switch to overrule the Double Exposure Prevention Memo disc on the Focus knob Use of Rolleifix (tripod attachment) possible ‘Germany’ engraved on left handwheel Dimensions WxDxH: 99 x 96 x 146 mm Color Lacquer: Black Color Leatherette: Black Weight: 1250 grams (complete with case) Supplied with original Rolleiflex genuine and dedicated leather case with short strap, as shown. All original and authentic. Please consider the pictures as part of the description as they show the exact item that will be purchased. CONDITION: In my opinion, this camera is in needing good maintenance and service before adding to any collection - it is well used, but overall complete and working. I've added so many pictures in order to have the best possible idea of the item in question regarding the aesthetic condition and cosmetic issues as well as some functions that can be demonstrated with the pictures. So please take a while to look at the pictures, I think they are completely illustrative of the item. I've tested the camera thoroughly and the ONLY deficiencies I can detect are as follows: - with shutter speeds of 1/15 sec and below the shutter gets jammed, opens but doesn't close (closes after rearming); - fungus, dust and specks inside the taking lens; - some dust and specks on the viewing lens, mirrors and focusing screen; - some dirt on the other small viewfinder lenses. Otherwise good condition overall - obvious signs of professional and extensive use, but no real flaws and no visible parts missing. Tested in full before listing (without film) - all functions tested and working OK, including self-timer, frame counter, viewfinder positions and other selectors and buttons. The taking lens shows micro-scratches outside on the glass coating. Otherwise no obvious scratches, chips, cracks or other damage and marks outside and inside lenses and mirrors. COSMETICAL - see detailed pictures. No hard scratches, nicks, scuffs, dents or cracks, no visible flaws, no fading to the letters and markings. No severe oxidations. No deformations and the painting is certainly original. No damaged corners. Fairly clean outside and inside, no dust, specks and grease. All engravings and logos original, crisp and complete. The case is also complete and working with the spring hinge on top cover closing firmly and smoothly. PACKING & SHIPPING: Package Includes: Item as described and carefully packed together with Catawiki Invoice. I will post this Item by Registered Mail (with Tracking Number, to be provided on Catawiki item page). #analogueweek
