[rollei_list] Re: Rolleimeter

Yes, I'm still on the list Ken, I'm finishing a book project (nothing to do 
with photography)and hope to get my cameras soon again.
As Eric explained, it has advantages and disadvantages. I find useful the 
Rolleimeter to take images about people and objects indoors with natural light 
or for nocturnal shots.
Rolleimeter requires a bit of practice to fit it in the camera quickly, you 
have the risk about to believe it is mounted right when it is not mounted 
right. In general I use the Rolleimeter thinking and deciding its use 
previously, Rolleimeter is not good for snapshots except if you already have it 
mounted on the camera. BTW, Rolleimeter is very comfortable to use with the 
Rollei Pistol Grip.
Rolleiflex cameras with interchangeable focusing hoods can't use the 
Rolleimeter, it happens due to the hood basis design is different regarding 
older models, there is no room behind the name plate "Rolleiflex" to put the 
'meter hooks.
The Rolleimeter was designed for the 2.8C originally, and then you can find the 
name "Rolleimeter C", but other models were made for other cameras, you have 
the "Rolleimeter 2.8" (the original "C") for cameras with 2.8/80 lenses, the 
"Rolleimeter 3.5" for cameras with 3.5/75 lenses and the 2.8 and 3.5 versions 
for Rolleiflex 2.8E and 3.5E with slot for the lightmeter cells.
Rolleimeter needs adjustments for the lens true focal length and to inifinity.
