For your Rolleicord, you may get the old-style Panorama head. Expect the very early models, this head usually fits the older and newer anchors on the Rolleiflex and are a good Rolleifix alternative.

I have the same Super Ikonta 531 6x6. An awesome camera too !

On the Rolleiflex front, I found a very clean example of a Rolleillex 3.5C. The camera was pristine but the shutter was frozen. A few months later, it was serviced by Optomeca and now it has became my goto camera. It was a pain to get some filters ! I regret that I didn't buy Heliopan filters...

Great image !

Just my 2 cents. I use Bergger Neutral fixer for film and paper. For film, beside the usual 1+4 for 3 minutes, there's also a recommandation for one-shot users : 1+9 for 5 minutes. I do it often..

Yes, it even fits my older Old Standard.

Yes it does. The only drawback is that it screws on the tripod mount. There are two kind of heads, don't take the modern one. You should seek this model : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/115455294630

And I missed the sentence where you explain you have a spare door... Sorry.

Hello, You can use the Rollei panorama head as a Rolleifix for your MX. I do that with my Automat. Of course it's not as convenient as a Rolleifix but it's probably cheaper.

Amsterdam Camera Repair is in the Netherlands as the name suggests. However he may have a pretty huge waiting list. There's also Optomeca in France who can service your Rollei but he will perform a complete service. I hope it's a clean model.

I didn't notice that you're missing a front shutter, as Zweiverschluß means « two shutters ». I never used the rear shutter at all, the cloth is not lightproof anymore and the cost to restore it is quite high. Let's hope you can manage something, let us know !

My example has a 15cm f/3.5 Trioplan from Meyer Görlitz. Here's a photo taken with it on 9x12 Foma 100. I have to give it a go again !

Here's a picture I made with an Imagon attached on my Bronica S2A.

Hello, Sorry to revive this old thread. I just want to show you mine.
