Richard: When the Rolleikin I first version was introduced into the market in 1933 there was no 35mm bulk color film for still photography available commercially in Germany, it was 6 years later, in 1939, that the Rolleikin I with the fourth version was adapted to use Agfacolor and Kodachrome 35mm color films, it was intended to use 35mm bulk B&W film originally.
