Rolleiflex screens have always been a bit dim and, as a consequence, I have long hankered to buy one of the nice 'Maxwell' screens for my Rollei. Trouble is that they are really quite expensive (£200+). So being a chap of limited means I soldiered on with what I had. However...
Through the grapevine I got to hear of fellow called Rick Oleson who did replacement screens costing about £40. Well it had to be worth a punt and his business is all set up on the web with pay-pal and so on.
So I placed an order on Friday and it arrived on my door mat on Wednesday (all the way from the USA) which I think is jolly good.
And the screen is indeed very good.
So if you have a rollei TLR Rick is your man.
About Me
- Jack Lusted
- As a kid my ambition was to be a scientist - and I did start out on that track and spent sometime teaching physics. But I have also worked in the telecommunications industry. For most of my working life, however, I have been an anglican minister. Now however I have been received into the Catholic Church and who knows what the future might bring. But other things are very important to me as well - my wife and four children. My love of music, my enjoyment of photography, my interest in theology, philosophy and science. The call to be a mystic in a very grounded English way...
