[rollei_list] Re: another odd question RE; Rolleicord

Richard,

Some of my Flex cases have a window in the back.

All Rollei case suffer from thread rot.

Speaking of cases, does anyone have the Rollei case
front which was intended to be used with the Prism
Viewfinder?  The same one was used for the 2.8, 3.5,
the T and the Rolleicord Vb. I it a rare part?

Jerry
