Carlos,Thanks for this information. What's the oval black button next to the shutter speed ring for? Aperture stop-down?
Again, of all the Rolleiflex 35 mm SLR the first one was the classiest (with the 2000 & 3000 sysem being in a different league).
I do have the Nov. 1978 Rolleiflex SL35 E Modern Photography test, if you are interested in a scan.

From: CarlosMFreaza <cmfreaza@xxxxxxxxx> I perceived a lack of organized info about the Rolleiflex SL 35 different models in the web and wrote a blog about them, I used brochures and my own photographs to illustrate the text; f.e. if you don't know why Rollei abandoned the original SL 35 development to adopt cameras based on older Zeiss Ikon/Voigtländer designs, read my blog, I also clarify some wrong ideas you can read in the Web about every camera of the system (I don't include the SL 2000 and 3000 cameras, they are for other blog, but I mention them for some purposes), I explain in detail the QBM bayonet variants among other things. BTW Herr Claus Prochnow books, Rollei Report III and IV specially, are one of the sources for the work, but there is a lot of info from other sources too. I have included a quote from Marc's book about the exact Leica Thread Mount size in the Rollei QBM adapters consideration. I apologize for some grammatical error in advance, text is pretty large (opinions and corrections are welcome of course):http://rolleiflexsl35system.blogspot.com/2011/06/rolleiflex-sl-35- system.htmlCarlos
