[rollei_list] Re: Rollei flash brackets

Hi Jan,

No, my bracket is more like this: http://www.veachco.com/j-120.htm

The flat bottom is the difference between the one I have and this one. But
these days I doubt people really need a quick release for their TLR. So you
can simply place it on the bottom of the bracket with or without a
Rolleifix.
