jimnorwood Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Dear All Quick search here and couldn't find an answer. I have been offered a Rolleiflex 3.5F which also has the initials JT nect to the serial number. Is it correct that this indicates a model exported to Italy? If so why the letters JT? Is this model any different from the standard 3.5 F version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimnorwood Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 That's it. So do you have any idea what this means and if these cameras were in any way different to the standard 3.5F? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick_chandler2 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Is it written in Fraktur where the I looks like J? I think you're right. It looks like the capital I in the Ihagee logo engraved on Exaktas and Exas. Thanks for the Fraktur reference; it's new to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_chow Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 So do you have any idea what this means and if these cameras were in any way different to the standard 3.5F? Usually, markings like this are for import control, makes it easier for stores and Rollei service centers in Italy to determine if they were sold there, and hence had warranty service there. 1 "Manfred, there is a design problem with that camera...every time you drop it that pin breaks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so in other words exactly the same as the 3.5F sold in Germany. Not changed or adapted in anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
