The Rolleiflex 3.5E3 and Rolleiflex 3.5F first and second version are
not included within the cameras serial numbers to use with the
Rolleimarin 3 or 4, the Rolleimarin 3 is for s/n 1740000 to 1868999
(Rolleiflex 3.5C or E) and the Rolleimarin 4 is for S/N 3.5F 225000 to
3.5F 2857149 (Rolleiflex 3.5F third version), the 3.5E3 and the 3.5F
first and second version would require some special parts to work with
the Rolleimarin 4 since their serial numbers are not mentioned to use
with the regular Rolleimarins (Rollei Report 2). The 3,5E3 has the
same lens spacing regarding  the 3.5F, however it has the shutter
speeds wheel like the 3.5C but it is again like the 3.5F regarding the
self timer lever position, it is above the shutter speeds wheel
protruding from the camera body, in the other hand the 3.5E or C has a
button on the opposite side for the self-timer.
