I always keep a stock of selected 3.5F with 6-elements Carl Zeiss Planar 75/3.5 lens cameras in excellent condition that are ready for a complete rebuild. I do not provide photos of the base cameras because most of them are essentially assembled from scratch during the rebuild.
You can get a good idea of the final condition by looking at the examples of cameras I have already sold here or on my Instagram.
You simply will not find cameras in this technical and cosmetic condition on the internet, especially in terms of optics. This level of quality is only possible when the camera is completely rebuilt and I select not just "good looking" parts, but parts that fit together and guarantee you the best possible result.
This is what I have been doing on a daily basis for more than 15 years now.
The amount of 2000 EUR represents only 50% of the payment;
the remaining 2000 EUR is due upon completion.
(total amount — 4000 EUR.)
At the moment, I have accumulated a number of pre-orders, so I estimate that your camera will be ready about 22 weeks from the order date.
This waiting time is organised by priority and structured in a way that allows me to work in parallel on a more affordable range of cameras, such as the Rolleicord Vb and Rolleiflex 3.5B.
Every camera rebuild is its own project.
I completely rebuild and re-adjust the camera from the ground up.
This work is on a totally different level than a typical CLA.
Having full control over the entire process takes significantly more time and a lot of attention to detail.
I fully strip the camera, inspect every part, and bring all internal components and adjustments back to factory specification or even better.
I clean, renew, re-lubricate, and re-adjust the entire camera, then test every function.
As a result, everything works with high precision and often feels even smoother than it did when new. Focus is calibrated exactly to the film plane, and the camera is film-tested on a dedicated stand to guarantee excellent focus accuracy.

USA CUSTOMERS
Due to new customs regulations effective September 1, 2025, UPS is currently the only carrier we can use to ship from Germany to the United States. The good news is that, based on our October 2025 shipments, total fees and duties have not exceeded about $150 for a used camera—even on items valued above €5,000 so no significant taxes or fees are expected.
