To convert metres into feet or other length conversions: http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_common.htm Every Rolleicord model from the first model "Art Deco" is provided with shutter cable release, if one of your Rolleicord does not have it, something is wrong, BTW what are your cameras serial numbers?. The Rolleicord II was manufactured from March 1936 to September 1950 and had several changes and improvements along these years, the Rolleicord II did not have flash contact from factory, except for the sixth version manufactured from November 1949 to September 1950, this version had contact flash from factory, anyway older versions could receive a flash contact via factory retrofitting or to receive it out of factory. I guess your camera has X sync only, and then you'll need to work 1/25th or slower shutter speeds with bulbs, I think the bulbs have instructions about the camera shutter speeds, BTW at 1/25th second to shoot camera hand held starts to be a problem and for slower shutter speeds you'll need a tripod.- Carlos --- El mié 13-ago-08, Neil Purling <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> escribió: > De: Neil Purling <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Asunto: [rollei_list] Re: Rolleicord 2 focus knob > Para: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fecha: miércoles, 13 de agosto de 2008, 4:14 pm > The beast's focus is in metres.
