~~ Medium Format SLR & TLR Focusing Screens ~~ 
Custom Grid Screen in Rollei 3.5E These are not intended to compete with Beattie or Maxwell screens, they are more for improving the usability of earlier, classic cameras from the Ciro-Flex to early Rolleis. To give an idea of how they compare to an original Rollei screen, here is a photo of two early-1950s Automats: the one on the left is my screen, on the right is the original: 
This is admittedly kind of an extreme case - Rollei screens are among the dimmest you will find. You wouldn't see this kind of difference between my screen and, say, a Yashica Mat. The screen features a 6mm central split-image rangefinder spot and an integral Fresnel field lens to give even illumination and easy viewing and focusing. They are available with or without a scribed grid to aid in alignment or composition (see illustrations below). For models that I have fitted, the screen is provided with instructions for installation. If you have a camera that I have not fitted yet, you can send me your camera and I will install the screen and return it to you.... there is no additional charge except for return postage for the camera. There is a possibility that I may not be able to fit your camera - if I can't fit it, I will refund your payment less the return postage. Some cameras (including later Rolleiflexes with removable hoods) use a screen that is too large for my standard blanks; see below for a note on the later Rolleis. So far I have fitted screens for: - AiresFlex - Bronica S2A - Ciro-Flex B thru F (Ciro-Flex A screen is not interchangeable) - Flexaret (crank advance models) - Flexaret (knob advance models - yes, they're different) - Great Wall SLR - Kodak Reflex - LaurelFlex - Mamiya C series (non-interchangeable-screen models) - Minolta Autocord - Praktisix/Pentacon Six - Ricoh Diacord - Rolleicord fixed hood (Va and earlier) - Rolleiflex fixed hood (E and earlier) - Rolleiflex 4x4 "Baby" - Tougodo Skyflex - Tower Reflex (made by Fujita) - Yashica Mat (Meterless and 124) - Yashica 4x4 - Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex IIa Price for a screen (except for the later Rolleis as indicated below) is $30.00, custom cut to fit your camera and with instructions for installation. There is no extra charge for a scribed grid. Postage is included in the price WORLDWIDE. ~~~Shameless Plugs & Unsolicited Endorsements~~~ If interested, please contact me at rick_oleson@yahoo.com and let me know what model camera you have and what grid style you would like.... or just scroll to the bottom of this page and click the PayPal button. Note: Rollei TLRs with Removable Hood: The later Rollei screen is too large for my standard blank, but I can still make screens for them. For these, I buy a new Mamiya RB67 screen (you can choose from the available focus aid styles), apply the grid to your order and cut the screen to fit the Rolleiflex. The same grid styles are available. The price for the later Rollei screen is $100 including postage, and delivery is slightly slower as I have to custom order the blank. Please email me if you wish to order a screen for the later Rollei. Cameras which require the larger, $100 screen include the Rolleiflex E2, F, and T, and the Rolleicord Vb.

Thanks! (Note for overseas buyers: Please do not ask me to falsify Customs papers to avoid paying duty. I price these as low as I possibly can, and I provide free shipping; this is all I can do. I don't make nearly enough on these to try to skirt the law over it. If you can find a screen elsewhere that costs less than this one, including duties, you are welcome to do so.) |
