Is it that we are comparing two cameras, the one with the photographer and the
other within the brochure? One has a viewing lens bayonet, the other does not.

Richard and Sven: I saw the photographs again and
the viewfinder hood does not belong to an original Automat I or II or III, it
belongs to a later model . Automats with mixed old and new features were
manufactured after the war due to the lack of parts, we had some topics about
this issue in the past. Prochnow's Rollei Report 1 (page 7-204) shows a
photograph about a "no original" Automat III with. a viewfinder hood like the
viewfinder hood for the camera in the poster. In other words, you are right, it
is a post-war Automat even if it has some features from the earlier Automats.

So, no Rolleiflash mount?
I sort of like those early cameras, external viewfinder, etc. Strictly steps to
solving problems.

Don: The first Rolleiflex with flash contact from factory was the
Rolleiflex X, made from October 1949, it already had the bayonet on the viewing
lens.
