I wrote my comment above without the book this
morning, now I have the book and I wished to clarify
that one of the protypes (PR 547/1) is a 35mm
prototype but from the '30s, it has a body similar
regarding a Leica body but with a waist level
viewfinder. The other prototype (PR 547/2) from the
beginning of the '50s is similar regarding an Exacta
with a central part looking like the upper part of a
Rollei TLR cut between the taking and viewing lens,
but it's a rollfilm camera. Both prototypes have focal
plane shutters and the author could only find info and
the photographs from Rollei archives, but couldn't
find the real prototypes.
There also is a wood 35mm pre-prototype (PR 547/3)
from the fifties with two horizontal lenses and
central shutter, there are a viewfinder prism and
sellenium cells on the camera upper cover, it's a very
nice design and the author found the model in the
Rollei Fototechnic archives.

The Report 3 also has info about the Rollei Pocket
cameras and the 2000 and 3000 models.-

All the best
Carlos
