Hello all,
I am afraid that this is a bit of an odd-ball question, I just picked up a Super Rollex 6 x 7 back brand new but second hand (unused), I dont know how old it is , judging by the box I would say 70's-80's.
Anyway the point is not the condition it is the fact that the thing looks grat b ut doesn't work. The large rubber roller is so stiff that it does not allow the film to be properly wound on, it makes it slip, there apears to be no way to res et the counter, it just stays on 0.
Now am I missing the point? I mean I load Rolleis, Hassys, Old Leica 3's, and ac cording to that logic the film is put on right and the wind on lever moves the s pool, it is just that neither the big rubber roller or the film counter want to participate.
Easy fix? Am I doing it wrong? Should I look for another brand?
PS this thing weighs a ton, and there is a bit of "play" when loaded onto the ba ck of the Master Tecniica, are more modern ones lighter?
