That old Rolleiflex I found at a garage sale in Portland
Picked up a beat up Rolleiflex 3.5F for 30 bucks last Saturday. Thought it was just a display piece. Got it home and the shutter fires at all speeds. Even the meter arm moves freely. Lens has some haze but no scratches. Anyone else ever score a lucky find like that at a random sale?

Yeah, the meter moving doesn't mean it's actually accurate though. I had a Yashica Mat where the meter arm moved freely but was off by like 3 stops in every direction. Haze in the taking lens is still gonna mess with your contrast and sharpness too.

Oh wow, @tyler_fox41, I used to think meter movement was a good sign but this definitely changed my mind.
