Volker, The Rollei 35 runs on 1.35 V and the Rollei 35 SE on 6V (I believe). The CRIS-adaptor and the De Gruijter-adaptor let the 35 run on 1.5 V Silver Oxide cells. The adaptor brings the voltage down from 1.5 to 1.35 V. I am not aware that Mr Paepke can make the normal 35 run on 6V. Is that what you are writing or are 35 SE and 35 mixed up? Best regards, Ferdi Stutterheim.
