I t measured my Rollei TLR cameras bodies a few minutes ago: Rolleicord IV
(1954), Rolleiflex 2,8C (1954), Rolleiflex 3,5F(1964), Rolleiflex 2,8F
(about 1970) Rolleiflex T Whiteface (about 1974); all them have;
Width:75mm (measured the camera basis where you find the Rolleifix slots);
Depth:65mm (measured from the camera body front, ignoring the front panel,
up to the focal plane line); Height: 110mm (Measured from the lateral side
wall lower chromed line to the upper chromed line, ignoring the WLF), They
share the same naked basic body..

Yes Javier, it's true. Allumetall from Nürnberg were the TLR bodies
providers for decades. They also helped to operate the Rollei die-cast
aluminum plant in Singapore from April 1972. (data from C. Prochnow book
"Rollei 35, a camera history").

Looking at the pictures I remember that I read somewhere that all TLR
Rolleis share the same metal body. A single supplier delivered all bodies,
and then they were drilled at the factory according to the different TLR
models. Does anyone know if this is true? That is, a Rolleiflex F and a
Rolleicord share identical body?

Yes Richard, I posted the link twice or three times in the past. Carl
Zeiss is a lens tester manufacturer, one of the current models is the K9,
that one in the image is the K6, according Prochnow wrote me after to see
the factory images, he also said the images are from 1959. I think they
could use some special larger mask to test the lens to assure results for
6x6, I thought it could be a perspective issue,but they really look 6x9cm
or similar neg size.

The pictures look familiar. Perhaps you posted a link to them
in the past. I remember some discussion about the photo marked
"Lens Tester", next to it is what appears to be a viewer of some
sort but the transparencies do not appear to be 2-1/4 x 2-1/4. I
don't remember is this was ever resolved.
