anyone know how a Rolliekin II 35mm adapter works in a
Rolleiflex? The one I
have the film would bind up on the take up spool and tear,
as with the 220
film I could wind one turn and back 1/2 but the 35mm has
no stop, I noticed
on the take up spool there a slot in the end and a gear,
the slot is to
engage the winder but what's the gear for?, Then too how
is it rewound back
into the film canister?
Best download the instructions from the site Carlos
posted. The gear is engaged by a lever on the film gate,
which is also the metering mechanism. When you push in the
button on the winder-counter knob it pushes the gear over
releasing the lever which, in turn, unlocks the counter
alowing another frame to be wound. Rewinding is done by
holding down the wind button and using the supply side knob
to rewind it.
A complete Rolleikin includes the wind counter knob
(often missing)and its mounting screws, the film gate
insert, the take-up spool, an adaptor which mounts on the
right side supply post adn has an arm which fits between the
feeler rollers on a Rolleiflex (it serves no purpose when
the adaptor i sused on a Rolleicord) and masks for both
finders and for the lens shade.
Be sure to shift the back plate to the 35mm position. If
left in the 6x6 position it will interfere with the film
transport, this may be the cause of your binding.
The wind crank will stop when the metering has passed
one frame of film. Since you asked about the purpose of the
gear I suspect the release lever may be missing from the
gate insert.
The instruction book is the one titled _Rollei The
Practical Accessories_, it covers several accessories
including the Rolleikin.
I've used a Rolleikin many times and it generally works
smoothly and produces good negatives.
