Rollei SL2000F: One Hour Camera


The Rollei SL2000F sure sounded like a wonderful camera when I read about it online. A modular system camera, but it shoots 35 mm roll film. What's not to love? Me want. So, when a copy became available at a reasonable price, I ordered it straight away. And, it was as lovely in the hand as I had imagined. But, well, I was able to make about 10 exposures before it turned into a brick. Just flippin' died in my hands. Not a good feeling. I couldn't make it come back to life no matter what I tried, and I tried everything. Luckily, the seller was a decent human and I was able to get my money back. But the love is gone. All gone. Finito.
