Rollei 620 Old standard

[sylvain35]

Hi guise,

I would like to know if someone would likely have parts for this camera ?

I'm in dire need of a focusing hood and a ground glass... long time ago someone riped off those parts, never to be put back again (wasn't me, sure !)... pita.

Except this, it works perfectly well, even slow times, focusing is butter smooth, no ding or scratches nor "cleaning marks"... won't be for spares, sure !

Thxthx !

BTW, it is in fact a 620, as i misread the max speed (300 instead of 500). My bad...

Here's a pic of it :

Built between January 1932 and January 1934, 4926 pieces have been produced. Its s/n is 271932, making it one of the first 620 i think. Unfortunately, he's bald now, he need a hat

Measure the hood opening. A Rolleiflex Automat K4B measures 65mm front to rear, 71mm side to side.
A salvaged body or parts may show up on ebay and a newer model hood may fit.

Sure yes, this could be a solution, for using it. I will keep an eye on fleabay...
But of course, i would prefer to find a hopeless wreck with an original hood, even in a miserable state, as it would be more genuine... but this, only time (and luck !) will tell.
