Roger,

The albada finder in this camera is most interesting. It is a kind of sportsfinder with a simulated bright line finder frame. The Rollei patents prevented the use of the flip down mirror for focusing but this one does parallax correction by changing the angle of the frame holding the semi-silvered finder.

FWIW this camera does not have the correct film advance lever knob. The real thing is a very beautifully knurled thing that flipped up so as not to protrude when not in use, not that strange blob of platic.

    Roger,

    The Ikoflex III had an Albada finder.
