[rollei_list] Re: Rolleimeter

Hello Elias:
             I have a Rolleimeter for my C I have used
sometimes. The Rolleimeter does not tilt if well
placed on the nameplate, the bright and biggest knob
in the Rolleimeter must adjust the wedge behind the
nameplate Rolleiflex, this knob need to be loosed
first and afterwards it's necessary to tight it to
adjust the wedge behind the nameplate "Rolleiflex",
sometimes this knob is hard to loose but it's
necessary to do it, this is the only way to maintain
the Rolleimeter in the right position.

Congratulations for your Rolleimeter, I copied below a
message I sent to Lance in the RUG about the
Rolleimeter adjustment:

" I have readjusted my Rolleimeter for my lens
focal length a few minutes ago and I'll try to be
practical:

a)Put the disk around the camera focusing knob and
then focus the camera at infinity turning the focusing
knob till its stop, afterwards align the inifinity
symbol in the camera with the infinity symbol in the
disk  -my camera has feet scale and then I followed
the feet scale in the disk- 

b)Maintaining both inifinity symbols aligned, you'll
see that the numbers 0,1,2,3 in the disk are placed
surrounding the closest focusing distance for the
camera, in my case surrounding the number 3.1/2 feet.
For my camera the number 2 in the disk coincides with
the mark for 3.1/2 feet in the focusing knob and then
I must adjust the actuating lever in the Rolleimeter
for the number 2.-

c)The actuating lever is the Rolleimeter arm that
advances together with the camera front panel
according it moves to focus the lenses; this lever has
a part engraved with the number "2.8" and there is a
screw above this number to adjust the sliding bar with
three marks. Using a coin or similar you loose this
screw to release the sliding bar.

d)Sliding the bar along the fixed part with the
numbers "1,2,3" you must align the sliding bar marks
(I repeat, it has three engraved marks) in the same
way they are aligned for the disk and the camera
focusing knob; for my camera case I aligned the second
mark of the sliding bar with the number "2" of the
fixed part because the number 2 of the disk coincided
with the mark for 3.1/2 feet of the camera focusing
knob.-

e)Holding with your fingers the sliding bar to
maintain the right adjustment, it's necessary to tight
the screw that you loosed, afterwards your Rolleimeter
is adjusted for your lens focal length.-

f) Don't forget the adjustment for infinity.-
I hope this help"

I add this URL about the Rollei Accesories Manual
including the Rolleimeter where you can read the
complete instructions:

If you have some problem please write me again, I'll
see it in my Rolleimeter.-

Best regards
