Hi Carlos, It's a lot heavier though. ;-)

Although it can be turned around from landscape to portrait, it is not quick to 
use because the slide has to be closed, the back pulled out, turned through 90 
degrees, clipped back and the slide opened again. Film transport is probabably 
about 2 fps.

It would be good for studio work or slide duping on 35mm but I will try it when 
out & about and see what it's like to carry around. The advantage is just using 
the centre part of the lens but most MF format lenses are slower than the 
equivalent in 35mm.

Kind regards

John

Hi John:
         Thank you, we "re-built" an operating manual and then the Rollei 6000 
series (4560) 135 film back is like an electronic Rolleikin.

All the best
Carlos
