Subject: [pure-silver] Re: Detail of Old Rollei Case
Richard, I have a fully intact case that came with my
Rollei Standard. The
case clasps in the front, and when opened the front falls
downward, and the
camera is fully operable. The strap on the top has two
clasps, which detach
so that the long part of the strap can be removed, and the
two short ends
can be reattached. Therefore, the case can be used with a
shoulder strap,
or with a hand strap. On the bottom of the case there is
merely a hole for
the camera's tripod mount to show through. I've never put
it on a tripod
with the case, so I don't know how satisfactory that would
be.
When the front clasp is undone, the words "*Patent
Brevete*" can be seen
stamped on the metal piece attached to the front of the
case (with an accent
grave over the last e).
If you would like photos of the case, I can manage that
easily. Just let me
know.
Marty
Thanks Marty, I have to find my case but I am sure it
had a leather strip across the front about where the
"Rolleiflex" name is on the camera. It also has a hole in
the bottom. It may be that its supposed to have a tripod
adaptor there to hold the camera in the case more securely
than it would be held by just the knobs and crank.
There may have been variations of the case.
