Rolleiflex sl26

Post by jiipjeep »

The mirror is jammed in the up position on my rolleiflex sl26 and i can't find any information or videos on how to repair it. Would appreciate any useful links or advice.

Quick search showed that uscamera dot com has the repair manual for $8.99
Also it’s worthy to try the big brother manual sl35

It might be useful.

This camera uses a lot of nylon gears. The teeth of these gears are easily damaged or stripped. This often occurs from someone forcing the film advance.

This is one of those cameras that isn't easy to service. So much packed into a small body with several failure points.

I found it best to buy another body.
