Unless you're experienced in camera repair about all you can do is check the obvious. The first question is: What are you using for a battery? The SRT-101...
Thanks for your detailed response, being a chicken at heart it has convinced me to live with the fog and forget cleaning the viewfinder. I did manage to...
I read about hyperfocal in a camera book recently, but it was quite technical and I didn't understand it. What you have offered is usable even if I don't...
I do street shooting a lot, mostly with my Olympus cameras. I tend to use the weegee technique. He practiced getting x feet down for any given shot so he...

Hyperfocal distance isn't hard to understand if you understand depth of field. Depth of field recognizes that focus is not an all or nothing proposition. If...
That's good news for you so you can use aperture priority to maintain aperture and DOF control. On the other hand, automatic exposure measurement is often...
The end tip of the lightmeter scales on SRT's have some sort of cushion for shock absorbing purposes, which tend to get sticky over time. This needs to be...
that's interesting to know and it makes sense for the markings on the lens. i was operating on information told to me by another. i'll give it a go and see....

David, one of the Rolleiflex Club members is a specialized Rollei Repairer. I'll ask him if he knows anything about the Zeiss and get back to you. There's also...
I've figured out that CLA means clean, lubricate, adjust. Is this required periodically even though everything works ok (and how often)? Or do you just wait...
Just use it til it doesn't work any more unless there is something drastically wrong like metal on metal, very tight components where you can sense some damage...
I have a little different view. It's unlikely that your SRT 102 has been serviced in many years. It's a mechanical device that needs cleaning, lubricating...
