The 4560 magazine is a rotatable magazine (for both portrait and landscape)
which requires an adapter back to fit on the camera. It will only fit on the
6000 series cameras which have a removable film gate such as the 6008i. I do
not know if the 6003 Professional, 6008 Professional and 6008E have a removable
film gate.
The magazine has its own wind motor and the film plane is too large to fit into
the standard 6000 film gate so the gate has to be removed so the 4560 film can
be pushed to the camera film plane when the laminar slide is withdrawn. The
same movement as with a standard magazine when the laminar slide is withdrawn.
The film gate has to be removed to fit a digital back for the same reasons.
If you buy a 6008 with 4560 magazine, you must make sure the film gate is
included otherwise you will not be able to use a 6x6 magazine - be warned - a
replacement gate will probably be unobtainable.
Likewise for an X-act camera, no removable film gate no 6x6 magazine.
The 645 film magazine can only take landscape images unless the camera is
rotated on its side.
Using SLX, 6003 and 6006 film backs and magazines on later cameras is possible
but another story.

There is a 4560 magazin for the 6000 system including the 6008 right now in the
auction site, look for the item 183046157324 ; it costs $750, at least it's
cheaper than $ 2500. The 645 and 6x7 medium formats were options to handle the
image scale to edit and to compose magazines, newspapers and the like in the
analog era, keepong the subject proportions and avoiding the image cropping
most of the times. I think the 6x6 format is great to frame images too; if I
need the 645 for some reason, I use the scanner adjustment or the enlarger
mask or print cut.

Does anybody know if this magazine is available anywhere for the 6008 series?
I always wanted one, but I could not find it anywhere. Well, I found it one
place, but they wanted $2500, and that means that the piece is technically
unobtainable. I never understood why shoot 645 format, but only in landscape.
This was a “hot” format for modelling and fashion photography, but in those
worlds, wouldn’t portrait be more useful?

Good news Frank!
Because mine had one up and one down, I thought there must be an esay way to do
it and that they were not connected; I can see your dilemma when both are
closed.

Thanks John - you're exactly right; was easily able to rotate the claws, and it
works fine again! I'm always a bit nervous about trying things like this -
there's so many interlocks with all the mechanical logic, never know when you
are pressing against logic versus against spring pressure!
Thanks again

Hi Frank,
Just to check, I looked at my magazine and one of the locking claws had locked
itself, the other was fine. I used a small screwdriver to carefully rotate the
claw outwards. There is a reasonable amount of spring pressure to overcome but
they just rotate. They are easier to press in because the spring works to keep
them in the closed position.
I have no idea why one should have tripped but it's fine now.
Just as a matter of interest, I have the 35mm version of that magazine too.
Very few were made. I hoped I would be able to adapt it to take photos 60mm
wide but unfortunately, the way it's constructed that's not possible.

Subject: [rollei_list] Rollei 4560 magazine problem
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can give me any advice / pointers before I send this in for
$ervice...:
I have a 4560 Magazine - this is the 645 magazine for the Rollei system, can be
mounted to the receiver in either landscape or portrait orientation - that
refuses to mount up to the receiver. On closer inspection, the two 'claws' on
the magazine that grab the pins on the receiver are in retracted, mounted,
position and I can't seem to find a way to release them. The receiver has the
magazine release button (which seems to work by magic, as there is no aparent
movement at the magazine interface - so maybe magnets?), but I can't find any
way to get the magazine 'claws' to flip back to unmounted position. I know the
magazine has dismount lockout via slide position detection, but can't seem to
find any way to get the slide to put the magazine into unmounted mode.
I have a second 4560 that works flawlessly on the receiver, so I know the
problem is definitely with the malfunctioning 4560, and not a receiver problem.
I use these magazines with an XACT-2; have never tried the receiver on a 6008,
etc., but should be the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated; thanks in advance!
