<p>Hi Forum members,</p>
<p>I recently acquired a Rolleiflex, which I thought would be a Model 3 (K4b2).<br>
When comparing the serial to the comprehensive rolleiclub list it is a Model 3 - K4B2.<br>
Serial is: 1068072<br>
But after looking more detailed at it I came across some things that do not make sense to me and for which I would much appreciate the support of some more knowledgeable people then me.<br>
To me it seems that the pre-owner had the finder changed. It does not match up with pictures I have seen of the same model. It has one of these eye-level-flip-down-look-through-sports-finders with the Rollei F&H Logo on (sorry don't know the correct English vocab for that). I have seen these only on Rolleicords (f.e. Model V or VA).<br>
Can someone confirm this or educate me about this?<br>
Here is a snapshot of it:<br>

Another thing is that a flash sync has been added and if I look closely at it (or next to it) I can see that the leather obviously has/had a cut-out for the x-sync which came with the later model.<br>
My two questions regarding this are:<br>
Did F&H fit the flash sync on cameras that haven't had these or had this be done by someone else?<br>
Is the (non-used) cut out a common thing or have any other intention?<br>
Again, a snapshot:<br>

<p>Another question I have is, if it is possible to change the focussing knob as this camera has a feet scale and I would much prefer a meter scale?<br>
Here a front view of the camera:<br>

<p>Thank you all very much in advance!</p>
