I love my 75mm 3.5 TESSAR with 10 blades aperture , and my new Rollei the Wide Rollei , 55mm F4 , the wide is heavier but the images are worth every gram of weight. In America HARRY FLEENOR is the person I sought out for the tune up and bright screen install and focus set on my Wide Rollei. It is so true ; my Wide was in a collection , so she needed lubrication and servicing . If your mirror has some reflective backing falling away or damaged from age , replace the mirror . Rollei's are lovely a true icon , and honestly a pleasure exceeding using my Leica M's. That 6x6 image is magical.
Curios to know your thoughts on this: Got a recently CLA'd 2.E with a replaced brightscreen. Everything seems good, except that when focusing the distance that looks in focus definitely does not match the distance listed on the focus knob. Haven't yet gotten the rolls developed to confirm if my test shots are in focus. Is this something you've come across?
Great video

It doesn’t sound like a serious issue. I suspect it’ll just need a minor adjustment.
