Hello John:
We mentioned the same page. I think the sequence is
correct, however the blue and grey boxes were also used by Rollei Werke F&H
before the silver boxes (I wrote "bright grey"...) .The boxes for the TLR
were the same up to the Rollei Wereke F&H bankruptcy. The Rolleiflex 2,8 GX
Jersey edition came with the old box design and a the label "Jersey; The
Rolleiflex 2,8 GX "80th anniversary" came with a similar box,. it was made
with heavy cardboard and art-decò motififs, but the background was blue.
The Jersey version:

The first boxes were blue and grey - see

Then they became silver.
Special editions had more 'expensive' packaging.
The blue boxes seem to have been introduced when F&H started products
other than TLRs. The silver ones when they became Rollei Werke.
I do not think the ornate gold boxes were ever changed for the TLRs. The
instructions did change to blue and then silver.
My Rollei 16 and accessories have a blue box and my SL66 had a blue
instruction manual although a silver box. My SL66SE has a silver box and
instructions.
I may not be totally correct with timeline but from my camera collection,
I'm certain the sequence is correct.

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.
