Rolleiflex accessories

[campy51]

I picked up a bunch of cameras and accessories yesterday along with a Rolleiflex 3.5E type one and what I think is the Rolleiflex Automat type 2. The accessories are 2 sets or proxar, a Panoramakoff, Steroschieber and a lens hood that does not fir the Automat, 3.5E or my 2.8E. It's in between the 3.5E and 2.8E in size and doesn'r have the cutout for the viewing lens. I plan on selling them but I am curious as to how the Proxar's are used. One proxar says 2x2 8.5 and the other is 1x2 8.5. I plan on selling them so if interested you can start a conversation.

Those proxar are for the Old Standard Rolleiflexes and they should be one for taking lens and for viewing lens, also another one named Rolleipar for the parallax correction of the viewing lens.
I just took a set of Proxar 1 for my camera, arriving in 2 weeks or so.

Hi alexvaras,

good choice, I find it stunning, how great the Proxar 1 works. (Used it on Rolleiflex Original and Automat I).
The Proxar 2 is often nice, but likes to be stopped down more unless you like a swirly bokeh...

Best wishes
Jens

The odd size lens hood has a 34Ø marking on it which I assume is 34mm diameter.Any ideas on which model this would fit?

I think it’s Bay 1, for Rolleicords and Rolleiflexes Automat
I checked my Bay 2 and it’s about 41mm.

edit: Bay 2 as bellow message

 

[itsdoable]

Bayonet 1 (I) = B30 (30mm) - all early Tessar models up to f/3.5

Bayonet 2 (II) = was marked B34 or B36 - early f/3.5 Planar models

Bayonet 3 (III) = was marked B38 or B40 - all f/2.8 models

Early Rolleiflex Automat cameras with bayonet mounts could also use 28,5 mm push-on accessories. Many Rollei bayonet I filters are marked "28,5 ⌀".
