Hello Javier:
I think Rollei Mutars are easy to operate in you have
the right adapter rings and a touch of practice. you only need to "hang"
first the Mutar viewing lens on the camera viewing lens external rim taking
in mind the bayonet rim upper wedge and the mark on the Mutar rim; the
Mutar taking lens rim has a position easy to find - it has a "click"- where
this rim coincides with the camera taking lens bayonet rim inner slots,
you only need to turn the Mutar taking lens rim to secure it on the camera
bayonet, it's easier to do it than to explain it. The camera becomes
unbalanced BTW, but it is not a major problem if it is hanging from the
strap hanger or it is on a tripod, however it's necessary f 5,6 or smaller
f stops for a good image quality.

Hi Carlos,
Good shot.
Many years ago I had a Rollei Mutar 1,5x used with my 3,5F. Optical
performance was excellent, but the attachement was akward and not ease to
use. Once attached, the camera, became unballanced, and prone to tilt
forward.
I never had a 0,7x Mutar, though.
Regards,
Javier

Yesterday in the afternoon my daughter was playing the electric piano, I
liked the scene for a shot but she did not want to appear in the image
despite I told I'd take her arms only, I took the photograph without her
anyway: Rolleiflex 2,8C Xenotar; CZ Mutar 0,7x; RPA; Wephota 100 film sheet
developed in Romek PQ7 1+3:

PS: I had no problem to focus with the Mutar and my old and original 2,8C
viewfinder, it's clean and mirror and ground glass in good condition.-
