Hi John,
let's try it directly by mail:
[image: Inline-Bild 1]
and your explanations sounds reasonable. I bought a 4,5x5 magazine - "for
Rolleiflex 6008, 6003, Hy6 Rollei 6x4,5 magazin film holder - The
additional accesories are the 6x4,5 mask for the view finder and frame
adaaptor for 6008, 6003 cameras", as well as this "Rolleiflex 6008 6003
guide frame for back door (not for exch. holders) Rare". Maybe I can build
a workaround or a part fits my needs?
A digital back would be the best - but that means selling both cars - my
wife would not be wife anymore...
OK - maybe there are spare parts somewhere to get this fixed.
