I have a #2 Rolleinar.
Oddly when I first used view cameras I had magnifying diaptors (called
filters) I'd use on the lenses for close up copy work to avoid
having to get
into bellows factor and long bellows extensions which at the time I
didn't
have a grasp on yet. A bit of a mistate in time I learned to just
leave
them off and just go for the big extension and deal with it.
I think (before I got my Rolleinar) the Dioptor magnifier set I'd
use on my
Rolleifix before I got my Hasselblads was the same one I'd use on
my view
camera lens. A lens from the 50''s or 40's with a small filter size.
Not bigger than Bay III or the equivalent I guess.
