Really enjoy my 1958 Rolleiflex T that I have had since the 1990’s. Just put a roll of film thru it last week.

How have I not seen this thread...
A friend gave me the two lenses so therefore I was forced to buy the TLR body...

My favorite TLRs are the Minolta Autocord and the Mamiya C330f (though I admire all Mamiya models). I have ten TLRs, but these are my favorites.
Mamiya appears to have taken more inspiration from LF view cameras than from Rollei in the design of their TLRs. I think they're brilliant!

Every so often I do get tempted by a Rolleiflex but I got some accessories today and well, this is when my temptation usually goes away. My Rolleicord III setup.

Minolta Autocord LMX. Long story short-the camera now has new leather, new focus lever, and a CLA by Karl Bryan. And the meter works after Karl fixed that too.

Have the same camera. my meter works but not sure it is worthy of using. Did Karl Bryan revive a dead meter for you or just made some adjustments?Minolta Autocord LMX.

I recently repaired a Mentor Mentorett from 1937. It is sitting here beside a Beautyflex. It’s quite an unusual TLR with a focal plane shutter and aperture blades both the taking and viewing lens.
I took a few photos of the internal mechanisms in a blog post I made:

GEMFLEX & Rolleiflex Old Standard.
I am almost sure that this tiny GEMFLEX is a working TLR, just that I haven't figure out how to load film in it

Today I bought Rolleiflex 2.8F (12/24) version. Only 790 EUR. The bad: self timer switch missing. No lens cap. Focusing screen has some scratches. The good - lenses are very clean. Shutter speeds sound accurate (even the slow ones). Original strap. I'll probably shoot a test roll and decide if it needs a CLA or I can wait for it. The last time it was serviced on 12-11-79 by "Rollei of America service department" (sticker inside)

1979? It will need one especially to fix the timer and screen. Still a decent price. Enjoy!Today I bought Rolleiflex 2.8F (12/24) version. Only 790 EUR. The bad: self timer switch missing.

I can live without the self timer, I have an external one. And the screen is not so bad, but I might want to buy a new one.
