I add to my message below that the MX was provided
with Xenar Schneider, Zeiss Tessar Jena or Zeiss Opton
Tessar (Oberkochen) 3.5/75 taking lenses.
Along the production the MX received clips for the
Rolleigrid element from #1241000, baffles for the
taking lens chamber from #1268000, grooves in the
tripod plate for the Rolleifix from #1268000 too.
From the beginning of 1954 the Zeiss Opton Tessar lens
was called Zeiss Tessar, Carl Zeiss.
The MX-3.5A could be upgraded in factory with a bigger
focusing knob and double exposure capability.
All the best
Carlos
