Ok, this site shows some of the firsts Rollei 35 German boxes and
Honeywell boxes. Anyway, the difference for the Rollei 35 standard boxes
have to do with the time they were manufactured , Germany and Singapore had
the same boxes at the same time. and the main importers also had their own
boxes as you can see in the site. First Rollei 35 cameras made in Germany
had a serious problem with the Tessar lens for colour photography, they
needed an UV filter all the time. Zeiss and Rollei solved this problem from
September 1968 using a cement that filtered the UV rays for th Tessar lens.
The machines and main technicians were trnasferred from Germany to
Singopore to manufacture the Rollei 35 there.

Carlos,
Yes, I have looked at the 'auction sites'. I am not looking for the
singapore camera boxes. I am looking for the original German-Made 35 box.
Not a T, Not a S. Just the original German 35.

I have a Rolleiflash but don't remember where I put it. I think it
fits the 3.5 bayonet. Curiously I have a large number of flashbulbs. Bought
them at cameras shows over the years at give-away prices. I don't think I
have used a flashbulb since I was in highschool. BTW, its possible to test
and adjust flash synchronizers with an oscilloscope without ever firing a
bulb.
Which reminds me that I have a rather good Tektronix scope that's
been on the back burner for a long time awaiting repair. I need to get to
it.

Yes Richard, those post-war boxes from the F&H era were made from heavy--
cardboard and art-decò motifs.
