Unfortunately I do this as well. I open a box and I find a camera that I swear I've no memory of buying. My resolution for this year is to put a film through every camera I've never shot in my ...... well I would call it a collection, but in reality its just boxes of .....stuff !

Hi, nice to know I am not alone with this, do like the suprise though, great resolution, I wish you well....

We always used to use Evo Stik, where I used to work. It makes removing the leather covers easier in the future.

Thanks Ian, that was the one I was thinking about but could not remember the name ..

Great video. Got gifted a Voigtlander VSL3-E last year, basically the same camera. Works fine, the lens is a Voigtlander Color Ultron 50mm f1.8 made in Singapore, it's seen some use and the focus is a bit sloppy.

Nice gift Andrew, Rollei owned Voigtlander for a while, bet the body and lens came from the same Rollei factory, shame about the focus but it usually shows a good lens if it's had plenty of use, are the results good?

@@thephotographersbag The results are good. It's just the focussing at about the 3 metre mark feels vague, like there is some horizontal play in the helicoid. It's hard to describe.

Hi, that's a pity, does it put you off from using it, I don't have the Voigtlander version but it's on my wishlist!

So the Voightlander is sloppy to focus or use? How does that change with the Rolleiflex version
