[rollei_list] Re: Spinning front taking lens and postings

The GX bayonets are an integral part of the front panel. The Wide is not - at least the original Wide. The bayonets on the Wide are held on by three set screws. The view lens on the wide is partially held in place by these set screws, but the taking lens should be screwed to it's max limit - clockwise, then the set screws nominally hold the lens in place. The lenses in the Wide are contained in a tube that only the Tele has in common, though in the Tele the tubes are of course, much longer.

The question I have for Ruddy - is it ONLY the glass that turns in the lens? Or is it the complete lens cell that turns - glass and the mount that has the writing on it? Or are both turning independently of one another? Are we talking about the viewing or taking lens? They are different in the manner they are installed in the camera.

regards,
todd

Thanks Todd
But while that seem to work a little for the GX the Rolleiwide seem to be fitted a different way. On further investigation after taking off the silver ring that holds the hoods, I discovered that the front element sits on a piece that is not held by any screws or even affected by the piece that has all the words on the front of the lens. This might seem confusing because as I write it, I feel confused so here we go again.
After screwing of the silver section that houses the hood, I discovered that the lens spins on its axis and does not seem to be affected by anything around it. The ring with the words that people keep suggesting that I use to spin the lens and hold it firm does not touch the lens at all so I do not know what is holding this lens in place.
I hope this gives a clearer image.

Turn them clockwise until they will not turn anymore. They are loose in their mounts.

A couple of questions for Todd. From the above it sounds like the bayonets on the GX and WA are separately removable.e., they are not in intragal part of the front cover panel as in earlier Rolleis. I can't tell for certain from the drawings of the WA and I don't have any for the GX.
For Ruddy: Is there a place where you can post a photo of what you are talking about? The Rollei gallery will do. I have a feeling a couple of pictures would clarify things marvelously.
