Not they, it is a one man show Mr Wong. He has all sort of stuff u cna think of for various Rollei, and many other stuff for other brands also. Can pay him a visit if u have never been there before. Sometimes he opens as late as 2.30pm, so call first .........

Yep He is Mr. Rollei, he own most rollei items I that I have ever know and other rollei that I have never even seen before. Many people would have eight different types of rollei standard lens for 35mm? Well he has

This Rolleiflex Wide is available at B&H for a cool US$4799.95 (excluding shipping)

Don't think Mr Wong carries this baby (not that I doubt his love in things Rollei, but doubt the $power here in SG).

BTW, Rolleiflex FX and Wide are new release of the respective classic of the yesteryear. Though covered with shinning leathers, spotted new lens and listed with premium prices, their build-quality is not quite on bar with the original ones. Sad, but true.

Gah for that price you might be better off with Hasselblad SWC

You might be suprise he can get one in no time. I was there when Rollei Gremany factory manager made a comment that his little shop have more rollei items in stock then the biggest shop in gremany. But that was some years back

I would presume that he carries rollei stuff to sell, not to show off, rite??

[fuwen]

Of course he carries Rollei to sell! Normally he will take the whole lots of stuff from JJ and thus can sell at better price but of course not lelong price. If u visit him often enough maybe can bump into some good stuff. In those good old days those things in his shop price in thousands sometime moved faster than those few hundreds one although he admitted that nowadays market quite bad.

He did mention to me sometime back about new Rollei wide TLR but not sure how is the status now. I believe he still has quite a number of new Rollei 35S (gold, silver etc etc) for keen collectors.

But I would say he has a strange character and u will not find him friendly the first few encounters. But if u are a geniune buyer u should not have problems with after a few chat.
