It's interesting!!! What is the difference??
My Rollei model is 3.5C ( Prochnow classification ) or 3.5E
type 1 ( Parker & Evans )..

The meter in the F is coupled to the shutter speed and
aperture so that when you adjust the meter needle you also
adjust the exposure. This may be faster but it requires
additional mechanism for the coupling. The first E series
cameras had the same fixed finder hood as preceding models.
The F and some late E's have a removable hood which allows
the use of an eye level prism and easy changing of the
ground glass. The F also has a different arrangement for the
parallax compensating mask allowing it to work when the
finder is masked for 35mm film. There are other differences
in the camera but they are mostly internal and of little
importance as far as performance is concerned.
