Differences between Rolleiflex 3.5E3 and Rolleiflex 3.5F TLR
The 3.5 E3 is sort of a hybrid between a 3.5 E, a 3.5 F type 2 and a 3.5 F type 3. 1) The 3.5 E3 has the EVS meter system of the E, hence there is no filter compensation dial on the focus knob side. Also the 3.5 E3 takes a "T" type meter, not an "F" type meter. 2) The 3.5 E3 has the peep window like the 3.5 F type 2, where the apertures are closer to the body and the speeds are closer the front of the camera. 3) The 3.5 E3 has the front plate of the 3.5 F type 3. ie: below the taking lens it says "Made in Germany" on top of "Franke & Heidicke". This is reversed on the 3.5 F type 2. The self timer on the E3 is like the one on the 3.5 F type 3. There is a difference between the self timer placement between the 3.5 F type 2 and the 3.5 F type 3. 4) On a 3.5 E3 the handy exposure table on the back of the camera looks like the one on an E type camera as opposed to the ones found on the F type cameras. > There is one more similarity/difference that I neglected to mention that is > rather important and that is the 3.5 E3 has a 45 mm interlens distance > (between the centres of the taking and viewing lenses). The 3.5 E (serial > numbers 1,740,000-1,870,000), and 3.5 E2 have a 42 mm interlens distance. > This makes a difference for accessories that take advantage of both lenses at > the same time, such as the Mutars and lens caps. A 3.5 E or 3.5 E2 lens cap > will not fit a 3.5 E3 or 3.5 F camera and vice versa. here links to a nice collection of images made from Rolleiflex 3.5E3
Rollei Micro-Tube and Micro-Prism
Ultra-Rare and Collectible Rollei Accessory – Rollei Micro-Tube and Micro-Prism
Listed is a complete set of Rollei Bay I Micro-Tube and Micro-Prism in their original boxes made by Rollei Germany.
Have you ever wonder how scientists and researchers make photos of things that our eyes barely can see? especially using a Rolleiflex camera, which was the most desirable camera half a century ago?
This is the particular accessory they used to mount a Rolleiflex or Rolleicord camera to the Microscope to photograph the tiny tiny things 🙂
This complete set consists of two accessories:
Rollei Micro-Tube, This accessory itself alone can be used to mount rolleiflex camera on microscope to take photos. then why need a Micro-Prism?
Rollei Micro-Prism, this is basically used as a viewfinder. the micro-tube mount the taking lens to the microscope viewfinder, this the viewing lens on the rolleiflex camera won’t be functional anymore. The micro-prism could be installed between the micro-tube and the microscope viewfinder to functional as a viewfinder.
Both of these accessories are extremely rare. Personally I don’t think Rollei ever made many of these. Perhaps even much letter than Rollei-wide TLR or Rollei-tele TLR.
