Subject: [rollei_list] rollei panorama head



Dear,
I just bid win a panorama head, same 2nd photo. I think it is older model than first. The first have 10 steps, and when look at the photos, we can see the first turn around its axis - the tripod axis. With second, I don't know 
how many steps it have and what axis it turn around. The first and the
second, which is more exactly? Can I plugged rollei to head, shot and join 
the frames but no need to adjust?

First, you should not send binaries to the list. Well that's spilt milk. The newer type head is intended to work with a Rolleigrip which provides the off-set so that the point of rotation is correct. The older type is a stand-alone. The correct point of rotation is around the entrance pupil of the lens. While this is not quite the same for the Tessar/Xenar as it is for the Planar/Xenotar the error is insignificant so that either panoramic adaptor can be used with any Rollei camera, provided it has sockets for the locating pins of either the older adaptor or the Rolleigrip on it.
