The early post-war BI ( bayonet size in roman numbers, please don't confuse it with the Rolleinar standard numbers according the focusing distance)Rolleinar and Curtar sets manufactured up to 1955 need a Rolleiparkeil for the Rolleinar for the camera viewing lens and the pre-war BI and friction Proxar -CZ- sets need a Rolleiparkeil for the viewing lens Proxar or Rolleipar. The BIII Rolleinars sets from 1953 and BI and BII Rolleinars sets from 1956 don't need the separated Rolleiparkeil, they have two elements only because the Rolleiparkeil was integrated with the Rolleinar for the viewing lens making one element.
