I have heard good things about Paul Ebel working on Rollei. He fixed an old Kodak large format lens for me and it works great. He was straightforward on the phone, prompt in service, and reasonable in price. Phone 651.335.8759

Ross Yerkes is another name that comes up as doing good work on Rollei.

Anyone know any Rollei repair guys in Canada? I'd like to send my rolleicord for a CLA but the turn around time sending outside of Canada is ridiculous. One gentleman I talked to sent his TLR to Harry Fleenor from Canada and it took 4 months to come back .. I'm guessing this is due to waiting list + stupidly long shipping and customs clearing each way at the US/Can border. I love shooting with my Rollei too much to do without it for that long.

[Joe Vitessa]

Paul Ebel serviced my Rolleiflex 3.5E and returned it in about two weeks. The price was $125 for a complete CLA. I recommend his work.

I too recommend Paul Ebel. Very nice guy, very quick and reasonable. Harry Fleenor is also fantastic; the only drawback is that he usually has a very long queue for service (months).

Here is a good website listing a lot of Rollei repair sources: http://homepage.mac.com/fwstutterheim/rolleigraphy/rolleiflex_service.htm

[charjohncarter]

Memphis, suggested Harry Fleenor, I've used him and so has a friend of mine. Both results were excellent. He is slow, which is probably good, i would say 2-3 months.

[Michiel Fokkema]

Hi,

Wil van Manen did several rollei's fro me and is very reasonable priced.
Most of th e times I get it back within a week.

I have used Krikor Maralian in New Jersey many times.
Krikor was the Rolleiflex tech for Marflex NJ for decades,
and was trained at the F+H factory to repair Rolleiflexes.
His work is good, his prices are fair, and for most work
he will turn the camera around in a day's time. Find him
online at

Harry's current backlog is 3.5 months. Sounds like Maralian may be your man.
