Subject: [rollei_list] Re: F&H Picture... Old and newer Rollei TLR in the same
images
You can see in the same image the Original Rolleiflex, the Standard, the
Automat, the Rolleicord and newer TLR models; beyond the external parts, the
size looks very similar for all these models; the Original has a more
rectangular shape:

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?

Don:
Factory data size for Rollei TLR cameras are given taking in mind
the camera as a whole, including focusing knobs, film external knobs, crank or
winding knob, lenses front panel , WLF , feet and camera back;this way you can
find some slight differences among the models about size. The size difference
between the Original Rolleiflex manufactured from 1929 to 1932 and the
2.8Fmanufactured from 1960 up to 1983 is a few milimiters as a whole; the
"secret" for the Rollei TLR compactness as MF camera is the film upper spool
position beneath the mirror and the film vertical running, it does not change
along the years; anyway the Original Rolleiflex used 117 film for 6 exposures
and could only beadapted to use 620 film; 120 film was sed from 1932 for the
Standard.
The fact you can use a Plate adapter back made-f.e--in 1949 on a 2.8fF made
-f.e.- in 1980 or on a Rolleicord Vb from 1976 is telling something about the
Rollei TLR cameras size.
