A few times I had a real need to use the Rolleikin since I have
several 35mm cameras, I recall once when I only carried the 2.8C for a travel-
There are a couple of interesting coincidences here. My first Rollei
was a 2.8C, purchased in Hong Kong in 1954, and I got all the
accessories, including the Rolleikin. I used it for many years until
I sold it to buy a 3.5F to fit the Rolleimarin I bought from a guy
who had never used it, his wife objected. That 2.8C was a wonderful
camera and I now wish I still had it. I do have many memorable shots
taken while living and touring Europe in 1963.
The other coincidence- I was just rummaging through my stuff and came
up with a roll of 35mm "Signature Color". It's marked MP 100 and DX,
and says it "Contains Motion Picture Film for prints, slides or
both". It also says that the film was made by Kodak, etc. Since
the tail is wound in I have no idea whether it has been exposed or
not, but my common practice would have been to wind it in after
exposure. I believe this came after Seattle Filmworks but I have no
idea how one would get this roll processed. I suppose a web search
will turn up something.
The cassette is the fully-crimped style, clearly not intended for re-use.
We have discussed Seattle on this site not long ago but Signature
never came up.
Anyhow, interesting that Carlos used the same camera as I once had
and used movie film in it.
