[rollei_list] Re: exposure meter-stupid question? and coupling

And how do you adjust the meter needle pretel? Why do I keep thinking I should be making note of this fact. Does my 3.5F need coupling? This sound so funny like I am on a farm or something.

It's interesting!!! What is the difference??
My Rollei model is 3.5C ( Prochnow classification ) or 3.5E type 1 ( Parker & Evans )..

The meter in the F is coupled to the shutter speed and aperture so that when you adjust the meter needle you also adjust the exposure. This may be faster but it requires additional mechanism for the coupling. The first E series cameras had the same fixed finder hood as preceding models. The F and some late E's have a removable hood which allows the use of an eye level prism and easy changing of the ground glass. The F also has a different arrangement for the parallax compensating mask allowing it to work when the finder is masked for 35mm film. There are other differences in the camera but they are mostly internal and of little importance as far as performance is concerned.
