As seen on e-bay / Germany object #310409484514

This is a tool used in adjusting the focus of the viewing lens on Rolleiflexes with a 3.5 lens that take that bayonetted size.

That is extremely interesting. If I understand right it is used on the viewing lens when setting focus. If so it would shift the focus slightly from that at wide open perhaps giving a better average match to the taking lens. While these lenses are very well corrected they still have a little spherical aberration and thus a little focus shift. I wonder if the infinity stop is set for the taking lens wide open.
