Bruno Dias · Nov 17, 2020

Hello, I have a rolleiflex t and would like to know what is the model of rolleinar for the rolleiflex t? I already tried rolleinar 2 it's too big. Please help me to identify

Bay 1 is the size for a T.

I always forget how Rolleinars are marked- Rolleinar 1,2, and 3 for strength? R1, R2, and R3 for bayonet size?

One place discussing various issues- https://beyondtheaperture.com/2019/11/how-to-identify-and-use-rolleinar-lens-attachment-sets/

Roleinar B1 will fit the Rolleiflex t, roleinar's are marked 1,2,3 for strength, 1 is the weakest and 3 the strongest,

For example this rolleinar in the image is Bay 1 and it doesn't fit on my rolleiflex T does anyone know why?

That is Bay III/3- 38mm diameter can be seen at the far right. The Rolleinar 2 marking means that it is a '2' strength.

You need Bay I, 28.5 diameter. Not all Bay 1 items are marked as 28.5mm.

Yep, annoying overlap in nomenclature.

You have the 3-part Rolleinar. There are two thin lenses, and then the tall parallax prism that goes on top on the viewing lens as you have it. There should be a third thin lens for he taking lens.

Yes. Note the 'Bay I' part of the description.

The 'Rolleinar 3' part indicates the strength of the close up lens.A Rolleinar 3 is a very close lens. This page gives some samples of the different strengths used for portraits. The last portrait is a #3.
