I 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.

That's interesting and of course very logical from a manufacturing
point of view. There is an illusion of size change from model to
model, I guess based on the lens and light meter changes.
I've never owned one Rollei at a time and never gave body size a
second thought.
Anyhow, I wonder if the dimensions hold all the way back to 1929, the
4X4 excluded. Anyone know?
