Looking for an Exposure Cell Kit for my 2,8F

[choisho]

Hi, how are you ?

My name is CHOI and currently I am using 2,8F which Exposure cell is died, so I would like to repalce it.

Would you kindly let me know where I can purchase a brand new (and live) Exposure Cell Kit ? Thanks for your kind comment.

Hi Choi.

Oh no, thats bad luck indeed :(

I have heard that these people have new old stock meter kits available for the F models - http://www.krimarphoto.com/

Failing that you could try and contact a Rollei repairer near you, or one of the people on this list -

Ebay could also come up trumps, but I have to say that I have never seen a meter kit for an F on there. I've seen a few for the E and T though, but they are different.

Apparently they sell for around $300, which given how little a used (especially vintage) hand meter sells for makes me wonder if it's a job thats worth doing.

I have heard of one place that restores selenium hand meters, maybe they could fit a new cell into your camera?

Good luck, I hope you have some luck in finding one!


Oh and another thought, are you sure that it is the cell that has died?
It could be that a wire has come adrift somewhere or possibly corrosion/mildew on some of the contacts. I have a selenium Gossen hand meter that didn't register, but after some congealed grease had been removed from the delicate needle mechanism it worked perfectly!

Dear Lordcroker

Many thanks for your kind comment which will help me a lot.
I will try to contact them one by one to find the right one for me.
By the way, I already checked my body by local repairer and he confirmed me the wire and contacts are OK.

When I find the right one and complete repairing my body, I will comment, too.
