Loadlng the film

The camera takes al l 35 mm miniature f i lmsin standard cartr idges of 12,20 or 36 exposuresavailable throughout the world, as well as day-l ight spools, darkroom reloads and bulk f i lmloaded in such cartr idges. Load the f i lm intothe camera at least in the shade of your ownbody; avoid bri l l iant sunl ight and dusty loca-t ions.

Open the camera back 5 by pul l ing up therewind knob 6 and fold open. Brief ly press inthe rewind release 35.

Ful ly pul l out the rewind knob 6 and insert thefi lm cartr idge. Turn the rewind knob unti l i t canbe pushed in again .

Pull out the f i lm leader from the cartr idge andful ly push i t into the outer slot 48. Turn themil led wheel 49 in the direct ion of the whitearrows to get both f i lm perforat ions properlymesheci. Close the camera back and let itengage.Alternately release and tension as shown unti lthe exposure counter 7 shows . 1 '


Checking the correct f i lm advance: The rewindknob 6 should rotate during tensioning (with2O-exposure or 12-exposure cartr idges or shortbulk lengths i t may only start turning afterseveral exposures).

Settlng the fllm speed

Move the winding lever 8 into i ts start ing posi-t ion as shown (this faci l i tates handling for in-stance when wearing ghcves).

Depth of fieldDirect assessment: Ful ly depress the stop-down key 11, thus closing the aperture to thepreset value. The expected depth of f ield inthe image can then be judged direct ly on thefocusing screen 52 (suitable only for brightl ighting and with not too small apertures).From the depth of fleld indicator: Here theaperture marks corresponding to the presetlens aperture on the scale 19, to each side ofthe index mark 17, point to the depht of f ieldzone on the focusing r ing 14 (circle of confu-sion z : 50 microns or 0.002 inch; further stop-ping down is necessary for utmost sharpness).Example: 50 mm Planar t /1 .8 , s topped downto f/16 and focused to 10 feet: depth of f ieldf rom approx. 51/z feet to m.

From tables: A depth of f ield table is avai lableseparately, with exact values for al l lenses.


Framlng the subfect

The prism f inder shows a bright, lateral ly cor-rect and paral lax-free image with optimum con-formity to the view recorded on the f i lm.l f the required subject f ield or the aspiredperspective view cannot be covered with thelens attached by changing the shooting direc-t ion or viewpoint, use interchangeable lenses(see page 14 - Changing lenses).

Finder accessoriesThe mounting groove 20 on the f inder eyepiece16 takes an eyepiece cup 53 to screen off ex-ternal glare.Spectacle wearers may use a correcting lens 54made up by any optician (outside diameter ofthe lens 26 mm). Inser t the lens d i rect ly in theins ide mount o f the cup 53 by pushing in unt i li t engages. Remove by pushing out in the op-posite direct ion.The groove 20 wi l l a lso take a r ight ang le f inderwhich is used for low-level shots (worm's eyeviews), for shooting round the corner and whenusing the camera on a microscope etc.

The exposure meter

The ful l- f ield exposure measurement methodat the working aperture has been designed bypractical photographers for practical photo-graphy. In the large majori ty of cases this wellplanned system direct ly yields the optimumreading. l t works rel iably even in dif f icult spe-cial cases i f a few simple rules are fol lowed.

The exposure meter is a precision instrumentof lr igh sensit ivi ty with a special ly extended mea-sur ing range (1 second at f /1 .8 to r / rooo secondat f /16 wi th 100 ASA or 21 DIN f i lm) . l t assessesthe average brightness of the subject f ieldcovered and uses two cadmium sulphidecel ls to measure the l ight coming through thelens. Th is "TTL measurement" automat ica l lya l lows for a l l b r ightness var ia t ions due to f i l -ters, extension tubes, extension bel lows, effec-t ive lens aperture changes etc. Moreover, theRollei measuring system accordingly weightsthe important image centre more than the edgeof the f ield. The i l lustrat ion shows the shapeand posit ion of the central area whose bright-ness contr ibutes about 90 per cent of the rea-d ing .

Measuring the exposure /

With preselected shutter speedTurn the shutter speed dial 27 in either direc-t ion unti l the required shutter speed engagesopposite the index 28. This can be done with.the shutter tensioned or not tensioned.The f igures on the shutter speed dial indicatefract ions of a second. No intermediate valuescan be used.The B sett ing (for t ime exposures of any length)cannot be preselected for exposure measure-ment.

Set the changeover switch 29 to "A" (automaticspring-loaded aperture). Sight the subjectthrough the f inder eyepiece 16 and depress thestop-down key 11: this switches on the metersystem. Turn the aperture r ing 15 to centre themeter needle 61. The aperture r ing engagesat half stop intervals down to the smallest stopbut one; however, intermediate sett ings canalso be used.When the meter needle is centred in the cut-out, the correct aperture is set for the prese-lected shutter speed. Then release the stop-down key: this switches off the meter systemand the meter needle returns into i ts rest posi-t ion point ing obl iquely upwards.


l f the meter needle does not react or cannotbe centred, preselect a dif ferent exposuretime: l f the needle stops too high up, use ashorter t ime; i f the needle is too low down, usea longer t ime, as given in the table on page 50.

Applications: Exposures requiring fast shutterspeeds to arrest rapid movement (act ion andsports shots, street scenes, chi ldren, animalsetc.) or to avoid camera shake (when shootingfrom a car, train, ship or aircraft, when moun-taineering etc.).

lmportant: The large measuring range permitsshots under v i r tua l ly a l l l ight condi t ions. Theusable sett ing range and appropriate t ime forpreselection are shown in the table on page 50.

With preselected apertureSet the changeover switch 29 to "A". Turn theaperture r ing 15 to the selected value. Sightthe subject and ful ly depress the stop-downkey 11. Gentre the meter needle 61 by turn ingthe shutter speed dial 27. Always let the shutterspeed d ia l engage fu l ly ; no in termediate va luescan be used. l f this procedure brings the B set-ting into play, see pages 27 and 50.When the meter needle is centred in the cut-out, the correct shutter speed is set for thepreselected aperture. Then release the stop-down key.l f the meter needle cannot be centred, prese-lect a dif ferent aperture:l f the meter needle stops above the centralposit ion, use a smaller aperture; i f i t stopsbelow, preselect a larger aperture.

Appllcatlons: Subjects requir ing a specif ieddepth of f ield as determined from the indicator19 or the depth of f ield table (architecture, indu-strial shots, macrophotography etc. mostly re-qu i r ing maximum depth o f f ie ld ; fash ion, por -trait and advert ising shots often requir ing mini-mum depth of f ield for dif ferential focusing).


lmportant: l f turning the shutter speed dial 27fai ls to centre the meter needle, a subsequent"f ine adjustment" with the aperture r ing 15 wil ldo the rest.

Without automatic spring-loaded apertureMove the changeover switch 29 to "M" (manualsett ing). Ful ly depress the stop-down key 11.Centre the meter needle 61 by turning the aper-ture r ing 15 and/or the shutter speed dial 27.When the needle is centred in the cut-out, theaperture and exposure t ime are correctly set.

Appllcations: Subjects requir ing direct depthof f ield control without pressing the stop-downkey; also shots with

the lens . in i ts retro posit ion (see page 32) orwith lenses of other makes in the intermediateadapter (see page 38).

Releasing

Hold the camera steady. Smoothly and ful lydepress the release button 12.

With cable reteaseFor slower shutter speeds - exposure t imeslonger than 1/ro second - screw the cablerelease into the socket 31 and mount thecamera on a tr ipod (with a thread of up to 0.18inch/4.5 mm length) . For long t ime exposuresuse a cable release with lock, also cover thefinder eyepiece to screen off stray l ight.

With self-timerTension the lever 32 as far as i t wi l l go. Thedelay t ime is about 12 seconds after pressingthe start button 33.The shutter and self-t imer can be tensionedand released independently of each other.Hence the release button 12 can be used fordirect exposures even when the self-t imer istensioned, while the self t imer can run downwhen the shutter is not tensioned.The self-t imer is also useful for avoidingcamera shake with hand-held shots of stat icsubjects at exposure t imes of 1/n second orlonger.


After the exposure

Smooth ly and fu l ly ( ! ) pu l l out the rap id wind inglever 8 and let i t swing back into i ts start ingpos i t ion.This advances the f i lm by one frame, retensionsthe shutter and gets the camera ready for thenext shot. With rapid picture sequences thecamera may remain against the eye in shootingpos i t ion.The rapid winding lever can be worked in asingle stroke or in several (usually two) strokes;on lett ing i t go i t returns to i ts start ing posit ion.When not in use, fold i t back against thecamera body.The exposure counter 7 shows the number ofeposures made on the f i lm. The twentieth andthirty-sixth exposure (for 20-exposure and 36-exposure cartr idges) are marked in red; thesecond and al l subsequent odd numbers aremarked by dots. After the thirty-eighth ex-posure (also marked in red) the exposurecounter stops counting. Further exposures mayhowever st i l l be made i f the f i lm is long enough.The exposure counter 7 springs back to zeroon pu l l ing up the rewind knob 6.

Unloadlng the fllm

After the last exposure: swing out the rewindcrank 34, brief ly press in the rewind release 35and turn the crank 34 in the direct ion of thearrow unti l the resistance of the f i lm tensionsuddenly slacks off (during the next f i lm trans-port movement the rewind release 35 springsout again) .Fold in the crank 34 and pul l up the rewindknob 6. The camera back 5 springs open; swingi t fu l ly open. Fu l ly pu l l up the rewind knob 6and remove the f i lm cartr idge.

Unload the f i lm at least in the shadow of yourown body; avoid bri l l iant sun and dusty con-d i t ions.

Exposed f i lms (especial ly colour f i lms) shouldbe processed as soon as possible, as theyonly keep for a l imited t ime.


IPractlcal hlnts

Selecting the best shutter speedlmage sharpness depends, among other th ings,on the use of a suff iciently fast shutter speed.

t ThereforeWith hand-held exposures: Use fast speeds toavoid camera shake. The longest usable t imeis r/ro second; 1/n and t, /rzs S€cond are saferand more rel iable. With long focus lenses anda not very steady camera hold use 1ltzs or,better st i l l , r /zso second.Wlth moving subjects: Use short exposuretimes to avoid movement blur. As a generalguide: Start ing and landing aircraft at closerange, motor races r, /rooo socond. Winter

d sports, tennis - 1/rooo to 1"/soo second. Horset races, cross country runners - l lsoo second.

Running chi ldren and cycl ists - r /zso to 1lrzs

I second. Walking f igures, standing people -: l l rzs to r/eo second.

In general: Movement at close range and. across the viewing direct ion needs faster' shutter speeds, movement from greater distan-

ces and approaching or receding from thel l camera can be taken with longer exposureI I t imes.

Correct exposure measurement .:The exposure meter measures the mean bright-ness of the subject f ield covered. l t direct lyyields the correct exposure sett ings for

Normal subjects: Lighting from the front orob l ique ly f rom the s ide, w i thout br i l l iant h igh-l ights or heavy shadows. Balanced l ight anddark areas.

Special subjects: Appreciable brightness con-trast between the main subject and lts sur-roundings - shots against the l ight, f iguresin br i l l iant sun against snow or ice, Medi ter -ranean seaside subjects etc., main subjectconsti tut ing only a small part of the f ield ofview (e. g. f igures not f i l l ing the frame againstlarge sky areas).A reading from the camera posit ion would hereyield a wrong exposure sett ing. This can becompensated by a

Close-up reading: Approach the subject withthe camera unti l the main subject f i l ls the f inderview. Set the exposure, then return to theoriginal viewpoint for the shot i tself .l f close-up readings are not possible, use a


,*Substitute reading: Take a reading from anobject similar to the main subject ( i f necessary,the back of your own hand), of normal brigth-ness range and under the same l ight ing condi -t ions (a grey card avai lable from photo dealerscan be used for this purpose). Read the ex-posure, then take the picture with the sett ingobtained.

l f neither close-up nor substi tute readings arepossible, take a normal reading and open thelens by half to one stop, depending on thebrightness range of the subject.

In very poor l ight together with very small lensapertures do not take the reading too quicklyas the response t ime of the system becomessomewhat longer.

Shutter speed preselection: Select a time ac-cording to the f i lm speed to permit centeringthe meter needle in the cut-out. Find furtherdetai ls in the table on page 50.

Fi lms: Select the f i lm according to the subjectand avoid unsuitable combinations e. g. ultra-speed f i lm for snow or seaside subjects in ful lsun.

Extreme cases: The noticeable increased inter-val between the 1,/rooo S€cond and B on theshutter speed dial 27 signals the l imit of thesett ing range.

When approaching this interval by passingr/rooo s€cord (extreme brightness and high-speed f i lm) : ignore the meter needle movementor central posit ion. Return the shutter speeddial to 1,/rooo second and use a neutral densityf i l ter and/or an exchangeable lens which stopsdown further. l f necessary, load with a slowerf i lm .

l f this interval is approached by passing the Bsett ing (very poor l ight and slow f i lm): set theshutter speed dial back to 1 second. Dependingon the subject condit ions, select one of thefol lowing alternatives: Use a faster lens ( i f notalready on the camera); load with a faster f i lmor plan for forced development; use f lash i f thesubject permits i t .

Changing the battery

Unscrew the cover 36 anti-clockwise with acoin. Remove the spent battery.Wipe the new battery on both sides with a clothto remove any oxide deposit. Place the battery62 with the * sign on top (see also diagramin the battery compartment) into the batterycompartment 63 holding i t by the edge only,do not touch the front or back. Screw in thecover 36 moderately t ightly. Suitable batterytypes: Mallory PX 625 or Toshiba HS-D, orequivalent batteries of other makes. 6:/:r* dl

fmportant: The battery lasts one * ffd Jt"*",a yearly battery change is recommended.During extended idle periods keep the batteryoutside the camera. Always remove a spentbattery. After prolonged idle periods clean thebattery as described above.In very cold weather first warm up the batteryto body temperature and insert i t immediatelybefore use.Find further detai ls in battery packing or leaflet.

Using the lens hoodUse the lens hood whenever possible; i t pro-tects the lens against glare, splashes of waterand drops of rain. l t also improves the contrastand def in i t ion o f the p ic ture.The fo l lowing lens hoods are ava i lab le for thedifferent lenses:Rectangular lens hood 64 for the 25 mm lens,Folding lens hood 65 for the 35 to S0 mm (witha sl ightly reduced eff iciency up to 13S mm)lenses,Screw-in lens hood 66 for the 85 to 13S mmlenses,Extendibte lens hood 67 ' for the 200 mm lens.The rectangular lens hood must be mountedwith i ts l ine mark opposite the index 17.

Using filters

Al l Rol le i f i l te rs are ground p lane-para l le l ,coated on both sides and free from vignett ing(see, however, remarks on page 30).Screw the f i l ter moderately t ightly into the lensmount. A f i l ter can be used together with alens hood or several f i l ters can be used at thesame t ime; see also page 30. (An exceptionis the po lar is ing f i l te r for the 25 mm Dis tagon

eff i 1 *',n built- in lens hood.) The tight reaching the

meter system in the camera is already f i l tered,so no exposure corrections are necessary.

F i l ters modi fy the l ight reach ing the f i lm in thefo l lowing ways:They selectively pass l ight of certain wave-lengths (yel low, green, orange, red, infra-red,ultra-violet, and R 1.5 conversion f i l ter) - orthey evenly ho ld back a l l wavelengths (neut ra ldensity f i l ter) - or they pass only l ight vibrat-ing in one p lane (po lar is ing f i l te r ) .For fur ther deta i ls see the f i l te r tab le onpage 44.

Using the soft focus attachments

These sl ightly reduce definit ion with soft out-l ines and hazy luminous h igh l ights ins tead ofthe usual p insharp Rol le i render ing. Accord ingto the degree of softening required the fol low-ing a l ternat ives are ava i lab le :

Softar | (sl ight softening)for very contrasty and bri l l iant subjects, espe-c ia l ly when shoot ing against the l ight ; photo-graphs of jewellery, text i les, si lverware etc.

Softar l l (more pronounced softening)for low-contrast subjects and soft l ight ing,especial ly portraits, scenes with certain atmo-sphere, against-the-l ight shots of water andriver scenes etc.

Soltar | + l l (maximum effect)for enhanced softness and art ist ic photo-graphy.

The Softars f i t the lenses from 25 to 135 mm infocal length and screw into the lens mount.Stopping down does not change the i r sof ten ingeffect. They can be used together with filters

30

and with the lens hood. ln this case attach theitems on the lens in the sequence: Softar -

f i l te r - lens hood.

lmportant:

The fol lowing combinations of soft focus at-tachments, f i l ters and lens hoods may be usedwi thout r isk o f v ignet t ing ( fad ing the imagecorners) :

25 or 35 mm lens - up to one Softar qr onef i l te r w i th lens hood;

Flash exposures

Mount the camera with the r/r inch tr ipod bush37 on a f lash bracket or f i t the f lash gun in theaccessory shoe. This accessory shoe is avai l-able separately. Ask your phc-rto dealer to f i t i t ,o r mount as fo l lows:Unscrew the blanking screw 38, press the ac-cessory shoe 69 as shown onto the locatingpins 39 and screw in posit ion with the screw 38.Connect the synchronising lead from the f lashuni t to the out le t 40 or 41 depending on thetype of f lash. The capping plugs 70 protect theout le t not in use against dust and mois tureand prevent fau l ty p lugging in , as long as thesame f lash units or f lash bulbs are used.

lmportant: With FP-synchronisation the ful ll ight output o f the f lash is on ly u t i l i sed i f theshut ter speed is the same as, or longer than,the f lash durat ion. The f lash in tens i ty cannotbe measured with the exposure meter of thecamera (but can be with a separate f lash ex-posure meter). The lens aperture controls theexposure.Note the ins t ruct ion manual (and espec ia l ly theguide number) o f the f lash un i t or f lash bu lb .

Glose-ups

extend the scope of photography into a newworld of miniature subjects. They need certainaccessories and a somewhat dif ferent ap-proach to photography; TTL exposure mea-surement however in th is case again ensurescorrect exposure sett ings.Genera l ru les :1 . Use the depth o f f ie ld ind icator on the lens

only when i t is direct ly f i t ted into the camerabayonet.

2. Focus with the lens aperture ful ly open.Adjust the camera-subject distance unti l thesubject appears sharply in the f inder. Thenadjust the focus ing r ing 14 for f ina l fo-cus ing, un less the lens is mounted in theretro posit ion (see there).

3. Always use a r igid tr ipod with bal l head,cable re lease, br ight l ight ing or f lash andcontrasty i l lumination for the subject.

The purpose of close-up photography is toshow small objects on as large a scale andf i l l ing the f rame as fu l ly as poss ib le . Th is isachieved by suitable selection of lenses withappropriate focal length, and of accessories.The separate depth of f ield table indicates al lnecessary detai ls for the individual lenses.

Accessories

Retro adapterfor interchangeable Rollei lenses with focallengths of 25 to 50 mm, and for lenses of othermakes with a 49 mm screw thread in the frontf i l ter mount. Focal lengths greater than 50 mmrequire extension tubes or the extensionbel lows.

Purpose:The retro-mounted lens (with the frontlens facing the camera) yields better opticalperformance at scales of reproduction greatert han 1 : 1 .

Use: Fit the adapter 70 into the camera bayo-net (or the bayonet of the extension tube orextension bel lows) and lock by turning to theright.


Screw the lens 13, with the front lens facingthe camera, into the adapter 20.l f required, f i t a Rollei f i l ter Z1 between theadapter 70 and the lens 13.Ful ly open the aperture and set the focusingmount 14 to the shortest distance. This makesthe lens tube act as a lens hood.Exposure measurement: Set the changeoverswitch 29 to "M", then proceed in the usualway.The automatic spring-loaded aperture is out ofaction. The lens cannot be focused by turningthe focus ing mount 14.

Exlension tubesare available as a complete set in lengths of7.8 - 15 - 30 - 50 mm for interchangeable Rolleilenses (see separate table).Purpose: They permit higher scales of repro-duction and shorter subject distances.Use: Mount the extension tube 72 with i ts reddot opposite the red dot on the camera bayonetand secure by turning clockwise. Fit the lens 13in the usual way in the bayonet of the extensiontube.Extension tubes can be combined in any desi-red way, but longer overal l extensions maylead to some vignett ing. Use smaller apertures

(especial ly with the wide-angle lenses), thelarger the scale of reProduction.

Exposure measurement: Set the changeoverswitch 29 to "A", then proceed in the usual way.The automatic spring-loaded aperture remainsin operation. The retro adapter 70 can be usedin addit ion (and should be used with scales ofreproduct ion beyond 1 :1) ; in th is case theautomatic spring-loaded aperture is out of ac-t ion.

Extension bellowsfor interchangeable Rollei lenses (see separatetable).

Purpose: Permits continous adjustment of thescale of reproduction and subject distance,more convenient focus ing and automat icspring-loaded aperture operation.

Use: Mount the extension bel lows 73 with thered dot l ined up with the red dot of the camerabayonet and secure by turning clockwise. Mountthe lens 13 in the usual way in the bayonet ofthe extension bel lows. Mount the assemblyon a tr ipod or - for hand-held shots - on ahand grip. (Base plate with 1/+" and 3/a" tr ipodbush; hand grips of various makes avai lableas accessories from photo dealers.)

Focusing: Slack off the locking knob 74 andturn the focusing knob 75. Fine focus with thefocus ing mount 14.

Selecting the f ield of view: Slack off the lockingknob 76-and turn the drive knob 77. Refocus i fnecessary. The uncovered f igures on the scalefacing the drive knobs show the extension inmil l imetres. Final ly t ighten the locking knobs74 and 76. A r ight-angle f inder 55 permits moreconvenient view-f inding.

Exposure measurement: Set the changeoverswi tch 29 to "A" . Pu l l down the tens ion inglever 78 and release. Ful ly depress the stop-down key 11. Measure in the usual way afterpreselecting the shutter speed or aperture ac-bording to ihe subject. (Aperture preselectionis usui l ly preferable in view of the relat ivelyl imited depth of f ield with close-ups')

Before the exposure: Tension the lever 78once more to permit observation of the subjectat ful l aperture up to the moment of releasing'

The retro adapter 70 can be used in addition(and should bb used with scales of reproduc-t ion above 1 : 1); the automatic aperture coup-l ing is then out of act ion.


Extension tubes can also be used in addit ion;in this case the automatic spring-loaded aper-ture remains in operation. For maximumstabi l i ty the sequence of the set-up should be:camera - extension bel lows - extension tubes- lens; a vert ical arrangement is safest. Withthe ful l bel lows extension and several exten-sion tubes some vignett ing may occur (seealso table).

Final ly, for largest scales of reproduction withimproved optical qual i ty the combination: ca-mera - extension bel lows - extension tubes -retro adapter - lens is possible, provided thatsome vignett ing is acceptable (see also table).

Fi l ters can be used with al l combinations. l tmay however often be necessary to do withoutthe lens hood when the subject distance isequal to or shorter than the length of the hood.

Messrs. Novoflex of Memmingen, Germany,supply a sl ide copying attachment and a bel-lows lens hood. These i tems are avai lable fromphoto dealers.
