Rolleiflex SL35e

[BMD]

I have an old SL35e which, as I've been given a box of 10 Kodak 200 ISO film, I'd like to resurrect.

The issue is two fold.

1. What battery powers the camera. I've no idea where the Instruction Book is and looking online hasn't helped and

2. I've noticed that the shutter speed dial rotates freely (no discernible click stops), except on A, Bulb & X Sync. I assume there is a fault there but not sure if that's just the way it is.

Any ideas would be appreciated

The place to go for camera manuals is butkus.org - specifically in this case

Thanks a lot. Very useful.

Captain Jack also has some useful information about the Rollei system - http://captjack.exaktaphile.com/rollei/dugrew.html

If it takes your fancy, the Rollei QBM lenses are quite easily adaptable to/usable with digital (Canon/Fuji/Sony APS-C, Sony FE and MFT).
