I repair and overhaul classic Rollei cameras in Korea — Rollei 35, Rolleiflex TLR and Rolleicord. I have been repairing and documenting classic cameras since 2013, with 257 repairs published in the public log, every one of them with photos: what was wrong, what was done, and how it turned out.
Every repair is public
I believe the best way to trust a repairer you have never met is to see their work. My entire repair log is open — teardown photos, shutter timings, before and after. Browse it here: Repair Records (257 cases) →

Final quote after I inspect the camera. Payment and return shipping are arranged individually — this is a hobby workshop, not a storefront, so please expect an honest pace rather than a fast one.
How to reach me
Leave a message on the repair inquiries board. Include your camera model, the symptoms, and a photo if you can. I will reply with next steps, including the shipping address in Korea. Shipping to and from Korea is at the owner’s cost; please use EMS (tracked and insured) — DHL or FedEx also work.
FAQ
Can you repair a camera sent from abroad?
Yes. Owners have sent cameras from overseas before. You ship it to Korea by EMS (tracked and insured) — DHL or FedEx also work; I repair it and ship it back the same way, at your cost.
How long does an overhaul take?
Usually a few weeks depending on the queue and parts. I do this alongside my day work, so I value being thorough over being fast — every step is photographed and published.
My Rollei 35 meter is dead. Is it fixable?
Very often, yes — corroded sensor wiring is a common fault I repair during an overhaul. See the repair records for examples.
