In practical use
Please start
with the Short-cut to the First Exposure. Only two pages, but
they will tell you in rapid fashion oil you need to know.
The handling of the model 2.8 F shown here and of the 3.5 F
which is identical in all constructional features is then explained
once more in detail, step by step. The first part covers its
everyday use: it contains the standard rules for picture-taking;
thanks to Rollei's automatic principle, these are simpler than
ever before, The second part deals with the additional features of
the camera, useful from time to time to master special
photographic problems.
The aim of this booklet is to facilitate getting quick information
on all necessary details and also to help you to take full
advantage of the great capabilities of your Rolleiflex.
ROLLEI-WERKE FRANKE & HEIDECKE

Short-cut to the First Exposure
1) DIN-ASA Setting
Immediately after loading the camera: gently press knurled knob and
set to the DIN or ASA value of the film used in camera - important
for getting correct exposure. Set filter scale to zero (→ page 27).

2) Focusing
Raise rear edge of focusing hood. Composition and sharpness can
now be examined on the focusing screen; turn the focusing knob
until principal object appears with maximum sharpness. For more
critical observation of the image, raise magnifier by gently pressing
the direct view finder panel. Direct view finder → page 22.

3) Pro-selecting Shutter Speed
Turn speed selector wheel, using right thumb, until the desired
shutter speed (red figures) appears in the center of the peep window.
Selecting Shutter Speed → page 14.

4) Setting the Exposure
Turn stop selector wheel, using left thumb, until both pointers of the
exposure meter are in line which each other. Just one more glance - to
check framing and focus - and the Rolleiflex is ready to shoot.
Incidentally, by pre-selecting the diaphragm opening, the depth-of-field
required can be determined first (→ page 16). To line up the exposure
meter pointer, turn the speed selector wheel: click shutter speed into
position and make final adjustment with diaphragm wheel (→ page
14).

5) To Release Shutter
Swing the safety lever from # (locked) to (unlocked) position; press
shutter release.

6) Film Transport
Swing out crank and turn with one continuous swing - forward to stop
and back again to stop. This operation cocks the shutter, advances the
film to the next frame and sets the picture counter to the next exposure.
The Rolleiflex is ready for the next picture.

Eveready Case (see frame below)
To open: lift the top from the rear [1] and fold forward and
down. Before closing the case set camera to °.
Removing the camera: swing locking levers on either side of
strap holder downward [2]- the two sides of the case can now
be spread apart. Lift crank outward, spread the sides slightly
and pull camera forward. - To insert: spread the two sides of
the case slightly, guide the raised crank through opening from
the inside and lower the camera backwards into the case.
Press the sides together and swing locking levers upward.
Detaching the front (if required): press clip downward [3],
remove the front flap, lifting it backward. - To attach: insert
the front flap in hinge and close eveready case.

Lens Cap
To remove: lift the lower part by the tab at the lower edge and fold it against the upper part; remove cap
from the bayonet by turning it counter-clock-wise [4].
To attach: fit the folded cap into the viewing bayonet - hinge pointing to the focusing knob - fold down
after a short turn [5] and snap into place.

Neck Strap
To attach: insert the retaining prongs at the ends of the strap into the strap holders (on camera or
eveready case) and they will immediately snap into position.
To release: press the retaining prongs together and pull strap [6].
The leather loop and snap buttons on the left side of the eveready case serve to hold the protective
leather cover for the light meter in place. It is necessary to un-snap the lower left button before opening
the case, when the meter cover is used.

Loading the Camera
Please do not try to insert your first film until you are fully familiar
with the handling of the camera. Otherwise continue on page 11.
The Rolleiflex uses 2.25 x 3.5" rollfilm No. 120 (B II 8) giving 12
exposures 2.25 x 2.25".
The Film Pressure Plate inside the camera back can be adjusted for
120 rollfilm as well as for 35 mm film (using Rolleikin, → page 33):
when using rollfilm, the inscription 2.25 x 2.25" must be visible.
Never change film in direct sunlight! Utilize, at least, the shadow of
your own body!

To open camera: turn the safety back lock clip at the tripod socket [1], lift back lock lever [2] and
pull back open.
To adjust film guide plate: press the plate against the back, push it up or down until it stops [3]
and let spring forward into the normal plane.
Inserting new film spool: pull out film spool knob of lower spool chamber [4], insert film, right
side first. and allow film knob to return to position.
Tear off tape seal.
Thread the beginning of the backing paper -printed side outwards - through the rollers of the film
feeler mechanism [5] and push the paper leader into the long slot of the take-up spool (using the
crank for correct positioning) [6] Tighten the backing paper by one half turn of the crank, while
braking the full spool with the thumb [7].
To close camera: press the back with the palm of the hand, fold down the back lock lever and
secure [8].

Adjusting to DIN / ASA speed ratings [1]: First determine the speed of the film used (to be found
on the box or an accompanying instruction sheet), which will be indicated in DIN or ASA values.
Gently press and turn knurled knob until the corresponding speed rating appears above the indicator
mark in the DIN or ASA window. (The dots correspond to inter-mediate film speeds, → page 27.)
This setting has to be adjusted whenever a different speed film is used.
Setting the filter factor [2]: Under normal shooting conditions, turn setting button to zero. Set the
corresponding filter factors only when using filters requiring a prolonged exposure (→ page 27).
Setting the film type (as a reminder) [3]: Turn the knurled knob at the focusing knob to set the
film type - black and white, colour artificial light, colour daylight, colour negative.
Advancing the film to No. 1: Turn crank continuously until it stops - past a slight resistance during
the last turn, when the counter mechanism engages - and then in opposite direction until it stops
again [4]. The crank is now locked in its starting position. The film frame counter indicates No. 1,
shutter is cocked - the film is in correct position and ready for the first exposure.

Focusing for Sharpness
To open the focusing hood: lift rear edge of hood [5] and raise cover. To close:
fold in both sides [8].
To raise magnifier: press direct viewfinder panel inward, following this simple
method: grip upper edge of hood with two fingers, pushing the panel gently
inward with the fingertip [6]. Always hold magnifier close to the eye. To close:
push magnifier support down [7].
Focusing: Turn the focusing knob until the picture is pin-sharp, or until the two halves of the image
meet in the Rangefinder Wedge (Centre of the view finder).

If you select the shutter speed first:
turn the speed selector wheel (right), until the desired
instantaneous shutter speed (red figure) appears in the center
of the indicator window,
This is an easy rule. All you have to do is to watch two
pointers. Thus Rollei clearly signals:
The exposure is correct, when both pointers are aligned.
The exposure meter is directly cross-coupled to the speed and
stop settings. Adjustment according to the meter
automatically sets the depth-of-field indicator as well. This
facilitates focusing even further. Now you can also pre-select
the diaphragm opening, without checking the diaphragm
setting, - depending upon whether you prefer a faster shutter
speed (→ page 14) or a greater depth-of-field

and then adjust the diaphragm opening: turn the
diaphragm wheel (left), until both exposure meter pointers
are lined up
- you can always be sure:
the exposure will be correct.
(→ page 16). The correct speed/stop relationship is
positively controlled by the two pointers. Any sudden
change in light intensity-indicated by the moving meter
needle - can be noticed instantly and can then be
compensated for by the proper pointer adjustment. With
the camera ready to shoot, correct exposure is kept under
constant control, even up to the actual moment of
exposure. This automatic exposure control covers an
extremely wide measuring range, it is limited only by the
poorest illumination, which will not allow the thin meter
needle to leave the area of the red reference mark.

Selecting the Shutter Speed
The red section of the scale
denotes instantaneous, shutter timed speeds, in fractions of a second
(500 - 1/500th sec., 1 - 1/1 - 1 sec.). Intermediate values between
clicks cannot be used therefore: always set shutter so that desired
speed figure is in the middle of the indicator window. This rule
also applies when pre-selecting depth-of-field. Only after clicking the
speed into position can the final adjustment of the exposure meter
pointers be mode with the diaphragm control wheel.
The green section of the scale
is for time exposures only and indicates the required exposure time in
full seconds. It is used only when unfavorable lighting conditions
require greater exposure, while at the same time further stopping
down in order to gain depth-of-field. After lining up the exposure
meter pointers, the green numbers indicate, in full seconds, the time
the shutter has to be kept open (→ time exposures, page 18).
Intermediate values can be used in the green shutter speed section.

What Shutter Speed?
Selecting a sufficiently short shutter speed is an important factor in getting a sharp picture.
First rule: in handheld shots, use fast speeds to avoid camera movement. The longest permissible
shutter speed is 1/30 sec. Safer and most widely used: 1/60 and 1/125 sec.
Second rule: In scenes involving motion, the faster the objects move, the shorter the exposure has to
be, to prevent a blurred picture. As a guide: sport scenes 1/500, running children 1/250, quick
marching pedestrians 1/125, people walking leisurely 1/60 or-from some distance-1/30. To
eliminate the possibility of blurred scenes, remember this general rule: the danger of subject
movement is greatly reduced by increasing the taking distance and shooting as nearly in line with
the direction of motion as possible, in other words, rather from the front than from the side

What About Depth-of-Field?
A sharp focusing screen image indicates that the camera is
focused correctly on the main subject.
But both before and behind the plane of sharp focus there
is always a sufficiently sharp zone. The range of this
"depth-of-field" is shown by a white band on the focusing
knob: the length of the white band indicates on the
distance scale the depth-of-field available.
The indicator band changes when the diaphragm selector
wheel is turned, permitting a quick and direct coordination
of shutter speed and depth of field. The faster the film, the
easier is it to take care of special needs calling for short
shutter speeds and great depth-of-field.
The zone of definition does not break off abruptly, but
gradually changes to unsharpness. Therefore it is difficult
to define the exact limits of the depth-of-field. Maximum
definition always prevails at the focusing distance.

When Does One Need Depth-of-Field?
Extended depth-of-field becomes very helpful
when taking surprise snapshots, sport scenes
with constantly changing subject distance and
subjects with extended depth.
Snapshots with the camera pre-focused to thee
anticipated distance: work with extended
depth-of-field to compensate for changes in
the focusing distance. (Sports Finder → page 22.)

Landscapes with foreground: to extend the
depth-of-field as far as possible into the
foreground, do not set the camera to ° but turn
the focusing knob until the ° mark is opposite
the end of the indicator band.
Subjects with great depth: focus separately
on the nearest and farthest point bracketing the
subject. Turn the focusing knob so that the
white band reaches both distance figures. If
necessary, extend depth by turning selecting
wheel .

Releasing Shutter
Up to the moment of exposure all camera settings are
kept under perfect control : sharpness, framing, exposure,
shutter speed and depth-of-field. They can be readjusted
instantly if the subject so requires.
To unlock shutter release: move release guard from
(locked) to lower (unlocked) position.
Snapshot Exposure (1/500 - 1 sec.): press shutter release
gently, selected speed goes off automatically.
Time Exposure (over 1 sec.): press shutter release and
hold for required time. Shutter will close when you let go.
Long Time Exposures: press release and lock with safety
guard. Terminate exposure by releasing lock. (Caution: Do
not shake camera Shield the lens with your hand when
opening and closing the shutter.)
Cable Release: insert in cable release socket with safety
guard locked.

Film Transport and Shutter Tensioning
After each shot: swing out crank, turn it for-ward with one continuous swing,
until it stops and then back again to stop. The shutter is now automatically
cocked. The crank will turn only after releasing shutter. Double exposures or
blank frames are positively eliminated. If the crank can be turned, it must be
turned - forward and back to lock. Only if it is locked the camera is ready to
shoot. (Exception: double exposures, → page 26.) The crank need not be
folded down after each shot when shooting in rapid sequence.
When using the Rolleikin: the film transport for the 35 mm film is
accomplished in exactly the same manner as above.
When using the Plate Adapter: turning the crank by one half turn will
suffice to cock the shutter.

Unloading the Camera
After the twelfth exposure the film is finished: the crank is no longer
locked and can be turned freely again.
To remove the film: roll up remaining backing paper with three full
revolutions. Open back in subdued light. Pull out upper spool knob
and remove film from the left. Fold backing paper (for convenient
tearing when develop-ing) and fasten down with sticker. Keep the
exposed film away from light and return it to original packing.
To transfer the empty spool: pull out lower film spool knob and lift
the now empty spool out of the lower spool chamber. Insert the spool
into upper spool chamber, fitting the slotted end over the winding key
on the right side. Load the camera with a fresh roll of film avoiding
direct sunlight. Use your own body's shadow for protection.

A Few Words about the Care of Your Camera
your camera deserves careful handling - dependable performance will be your reward. Sparkling
cleanliness, especially of all the optical parts, is a pre-requisite for maximum sharpness. In cleaning
all optical surfaces (lenses, focusing screen, reflex mirror, flat glass), use a camel's hair brush to
remove dust, then wipe off fingerprints with a soft cloth or doeskin. On the contoured undersurface
of the focusing screen, use a clean soft brush only; avoid touching the screen. To prevent a dustattracting electrostatic charge, breathe onto the surfaces before and after cleaning and let moisture
evaporate, do not wipe off. - Incidentally, the lenses have abrasion resistant anti-reflection coatings.
The reflex mirror, too, is covered with a special protective layer to withstand scratches and
corrosion. However, any cleaning should be done carefully and only when necessary.
Do not forget that moisture, dust, sand, strong sunlight, a hard blow or fall can be harmful to a
precision camera. If possible, always use the eveready case, for heavy duty operations the stronger
and tightly closing metal eveready case. Carry camera around neck and when riding in your car,
keep your camera in a safe spot, well protected against the hot sun and bumpy roads. In a nutshell:
be kind to your Rolleiflex
And please remember: Franke & Heidecke always maintain their interest in the welfare of your
camera. The Service Departments at the factory and the factory representatives in foreign countries
will always gladly take care of any special technical problems that might come up during your
photographic practice.

Using the Sports Finder
Sport scenes and fast moving objects can be framed more
conveniently through the direct view finder. Only a slight
raising or lowering of the camera is needed to alternate between
observing the center portion of the focusing screen (to control
sharpness) and the full open view in the direct finder. To open
sports finder: press panel inward all the way 1/ To close: tap
both sides of the hood gently 2/ - Always use the direct view
finder close to the eye, looking directly at the subject without
tilting the camera.

Exposures with Self-timer
If you photograph a group of people or take a remembrance snapshot and
you also want to appear in the picture, cock the self-timer before releasing
the shutter. When pressing the shutter release, the shutter will open for the
previously selected exposure time after a delay of approximately 10 secs.
The self-timer can be used with all instantaneous speeds 1/500 - 1 sec. (red
section of speed scale) and also for flash shots with the z contact setting. It
operates only when the shutter is cocked. To operate self-timer: cock shutter
(film transport), move self-timer tensioning lever V in the direction of the
arrow until it stops. Release shutter as usual. Shutter and self-timer may be
left tensioned even when camera is not in use - spring strength will not
deteriorate

Tripod Pictures
Length of the tripod's screw must not exceed the normal 3/16" (4.5 mm) - if
necessary, use a spacer of proper thickness. A reducing bushing is available
for use with English thread (1/4"). More practical: Rolleifix for instant
mounting of camera to tripod.

Flash Shots
Modern flash technique permits taking snapshots even under
lighting conditions which do not allow instantaneous exposures
wifh a handheld camera. The Synchro-Compur shutter is fully
synchronized. It fires the fast electronic flash and the slower
flash bulbs at exactly the right moment, permitting the use of
short and shortest shutter speed in both instances. All there is to
do is connecting the flash gun with the camera and setting the
synchro lever to the proper position.
Connecting the flash cord: insert the tip into the flash
connector socket on the camera. - When disconnecting flash cord:
swing locking lever at the socket downward and pull out tip.
Setting the contact to  (X-contact) or 0 (M-contact): pull out
the small knurled knob and swing synchro lever to the desired
position.
The X-synchronization, which also works with the self-timer, is
the contact most widely used under normal conditions. When
employing the recommended shutter speed it always utilizes the
entire light output of the flash.

The correct exposure depends on fhe light output of the flash and the distance between flash and
subject. Therefore, it cannot be determined with an exposure meter. Exact data regarding choice of
proper contact, exposure time and diaphragm may be gathered from the material furnished by the
lamp manufacturers.
Adjusting the exposure (as per instructions supplied by the flash manufacturer): Using peep
window, select shutter speed first, then set diaphragm opening (→ page 26). The exposure meter
pointers are disregarded completely.

Diaphragm
In practical use, observation of the diaphragm is
necessary only when shooting with out
measuring
the
exposure (flash
shots, dim light,
night exposures).
Higher number diaphragm figures indicate
smaller openings end increased depth-of-field
(→ page 16), but closing down to each
succeeding stop cuts the light passing through
exactly in half, requiring double the exposure of
the preceding stop. The correct diaphragm
opening is indicated in the center of the peep
window. Intermediate values can be used. (f : 3.5
is a mid-point stop between f : 2.8 and f : 4 in
the international diaphragm scale.) To permit the
use of the entire diaphragm range when taking
manually controlled time exposures (over 1
sec.), keep the shutter speed scale set to the
value "2" of the green section of the scale.

Double Exposures At Will
For intentional multiple or trick exposures the
double exposure prevention mechanism can
be by-passed (possible only with roll-film
loaded camera): after exposure move release
ring at base of crank in direction of arrow and
then turn crank through one complete
backward revolution until it stops. This
operation cocks the shutter for a second
exposure without advancing the film. After
releasing the shutter, repeated tensioning in
the described manner far multiple exposures
possible. An absolutely firm tripod is a prerequisite for this kind of work.

Use of Filters
Filters absorbe (sic) light and therefore usually
require a prolonged exposure. The necessary
correction for each filter is indicated by the
filter compensating number (→ page 34) and
is automatically taken care of when measuring
the exposure by means of the filter
compensating scale.
Adjusting the filter scale: turn the indicator
knob until the corresponding compensating
number of the filter used is opposite the
reference mark. Adjust the exposure meter
pointers as usual.
When removing the filter: return filter scale
to zero!
In special cases (flash, high filter compensating
numbers over - 3) the filter is compensated for by
decreasing the film speed by 3 DIN for each full
value (for example, when working with Neutral
Density filter No. 4: -4 = 4. 3 = requires setting the
meter to 12" DIN less than the actual film speed).

Normal object measurement
covers the average case: this is an evenly
illuminated subject, with front lighting or the
light partially from the side, well balanced
differences in light and shade and no heavy
shadows. (When shooting color, only front
lighting will produce the most saturated colors)

Detail measurement of the object

Three Ways to Correct Exposure
With the Rolleiflex, even difficult light
conditions are no problem as long as you
keep the following in mind: Is there a great
contrast in illumination between the main
subject and the rest of the picture area? On
the correct answer to this question, depends
the choice of the proper measuring method.

becomes very helpful in special cases: when
either very light or dark areas prevail and there is
a great illumination contrast between main
subject and background. Example: a sun-tanned
face in front of bright clouds - what is wanted is
correct exposure is for the head, but as camera
position measurement also includes the sky, an
average reading, resulting in under-exposure of
the face, would be obtained.
For proper measurement of detail in such cases,
move the Rollei towards object until only the
main part of subject appears in the focusing
screen. Set camera to the reading now obtained
and return to original camera position.

Incident light measurement (with diffusor)
This method gives a correct reading in those
special cases of high-contrast subjects, where
detail measurement cannot be achieved. Main
uses: against-the-sun shots, objects with brilIiant
background (snow, water, beach) and close-ups
of small objects with contrasty background. To
get correct reading, point camera in opposite
direction to measure the illumination received by
the subject. Place diffusor in position over
holding knobs on the photo cell and aim towards
the light falling on the subject from the direction
of the intended camera position. Incident light
measurements are taken at the subject or at a
position identically illuminated. The reading
corresponds to an average subject brightness.
According to whether the important part of the
scene is darker or brighter than the average, the
diaphragm should be opened or closed by 1/2 stop.

When not in use, the photo cell need not be
covered. The diffusor is kept in the front flap of the
ever ready case.

A general rule in strong sunlight:
Give preference to whichever measuring method
that does not expose photo cell to direct rays of
the sun.

A protective cover can be placed over the focusing
knob. The shock mounted exposure meter is
ruggedly built; duration and intensity of the light
falling on the cells will not effect its accuracy.

Re-adjusting the Exposure Meter
When the photo cell is completely covered, the
indicator needle should be in zero position, pointing
to the red reference line 3. If it is off this position,
perhaps due to prolonged and heavy shaking, the
meter can be re-adjusted as follows:
Loosen both screws on the front of the meter 1, until
it can be removed from the focusing knob. Turn
adjusting screw on back of instrument 2 until meter
needle points to the red reference mark 3.
IMPORTANT! Before re-inserting instrument: first
set camera to DIN / ASA value 12, filter factor 0,
shutter speed 1/500th sec. and diaphragm f:22, then
insert exposure meter and tighten screws.
Table of Exposure Values
In case you are interested in knowing which exposure
value (formerly light value) corresponds to a given
speed/stop combination, the table on the camera back
provides this information: determine diaphragm and
shutter speed the camera is set to and the exposure
value will be found where the respective diaphragm
and speed columns cross; for example: for f : 5.6 and
1/30th sec. the exposure value 10.

Changing Magnifier to correct for Faulty Vision
For critical focusing without glasses, interchangeable magnifiers within the
range from + 3 to -3 diopters are available. (Specify prescription for glasses.) If
you want to change the magnifiers yourself:
Upper Magnifier: with the direct view finder open, grasp lens from above and
below, pull it back and then lift it up and out [4]. To insert: push magnifier
forward against retaining spring and let snap into place. For convenient cleaning:
fold down magnifier with the direct view finder open.
Rear Magnifier: remove and open focusing hood (→ page 33). Use both thumbs
to grasp, from the inside of the rear wall, the two retaining clips on either side of
the rear peep window and pull back retaining lever [5]. After changing
magnifier, push re-taining spring forward until it snaps into place. Clean
magnifier with soft cloth.

Exchanging the Back
(to use the plate adapter or the flat glass attachment)
To exchange camera back: open back fully, turn the safety latch below the right
back hinge in the same direction [6] and remove back To attach: with the safety
latch in upper position, insert back first into the left, then into the right back
hinge and close.

The Optically Flat Glass Attachment
21/4 x 21/4"
This special accessory increases the precision of the
Rollei film channel to achieve plate-like flatness of
the roll film. However, it requires a little care to
keep it clean:
Handle the glass by the edges only. Keep both sides
free from dust and lint (→ page 21). Minor wiping
traces on the film side of the glass will not affect
the picture quality.

To insert the flat glass: open camera, and tilt
forward. Slide glass with beveled edge under
upper retaining bar of the film gate, let glass
plate snap into position and secure by pressing
bar 1. The beveled edges are held by the
retaining bars of the film gate. To remove: turn
camera upside down, press retaining bar 1 and
let glass drop into your hand.
After attaching the special back (→ page 31):
Proper adjustment of the film pressure plate
(→ page 9). Watch for the two different
positions for 2_ x 2_" l When taking pictures
without the flat glass: use center position
(visible picture symbol: "rollfilm"). When using
the flat glass: push pressure plate up
(additionally visible picture symbol: "rollfilm
with flat glass") 2.
Inserting the film: in the usual way.
When not using the flat glass: store it in the
compartment provided inside the eveready case.

Using the Rolleikin
Inserting the Rolleikin Focusing Screen Mask:
To remove the hood : press the spring catches on either side of the hood and
slide hood towards rear [1]. - To replace: press hood down on track and slide
forward until it locks.
To lift the focusing screen : take hold of the two sides of the frame, pull
backwards slightly and lift [2]. - Close by pushing downward.
Inserting the focusing screen mask : drop into place so that the notch and
punched holes fit over the studs provided [3]. The Rolleikin mask is now
coupled to the automatic parallax correction of the camera.
Adjusting the film pressure plate (→ page 9): slide plate downward until
inscription 1 x 11/2" (24 x 36 mm) is visible.
Adjusting the eveready case to the larger diameter of the Rolleikin counter
knob: remove leather insert at the left side after bending the metal retaining
clips upward. For more detailed information, please refer to the Rolleikin
instruction sheet.
