Carlos, I had the same idea but you came ahead of me. Anyway, weight
differences are significant. My Rolleicord Va weights 916 grams and my
Rolleiflex E 1.280 grams, that is 40% more.

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.
