Marvin, these lenses were a development from the SL35 range but with aperture
information pins for the open aperture auto exposure. The number of pins on the
various lens series is another story......! ;-)
There were basically two ranges of optics, one was Zeiss but the 'common ones'
were made by Rollei, some in Singapore and some in Germany; the other was a
'low cost amateur' range made by Mamyia called 'Rolleinar', not to be confused
with the TLR close-up accessory lenses. Some of the early SL 35 lenses (no
pins) were made by Zeiss and some of the later ones also, ie 85mm f1.4 & 35mm
f1.4, 15mm w/a, 16mm fisheye, 18mm w/a. The SL66 lenses could be used with an
adapter. The v. expensive Mirotars were also adapted to fit the 2000/3000
series.
Optically, I have no adverse comments to make. I have recently scanned
negatives and printed images to 24x18 inches and the results are great. I
cannot comment on comparisons to Nikon or Canon etc but I'm happy. ;-)
I can send you some image files if you like but they will have to be reduced in
file size in order to email them.
Regards
John

Firstly thanks John,
I think those are the cameras I have in mind. How did you rate them optically?
Are they using Zeiss optics ?
Does anyone have shots taken using these models?
Thanks,
Marvin.

Marvin, do you mean the 2000F/3003/3001 series?
If so see: http://www.cameraquest.com/rol3003.htm and no doubt others
too.
I have a 3003 and use it for my 35mm photography. I like the flexability
of the two viewfinders. NiCd batteries are a bore but can be replaced
with NiMH cells which do not have the 'memory' issues. The
interchangeable magazines are not much use to me now although I have
used them in the past when it is quicker to change a magazine rather
than rewind and load a new film. I have had shutter jamming problems on
a couple of occasions but they were fixed in a service. Metering is
reliable as is TTL flash with SCA 356 adapter.
A Polaroid back, underwater housing and night vision attachment were
some of the 'extreme' accessories available (at a cost though).
I hope this helps
Regards
John

Rollei used to make this weird little camera a sort of square format
35mm camera, it looked like a Video cam; did anyone ever own one or use
one?
Thanks,
MArvin.
