steve g Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I bought a cap for my Rolleicord IIIa that I had hoped would fit, but does not. I am trying to identify what bay size it is, so that when I resell it.. the buyer doesn't end up in the same shape I am in.<br><br>Measuring diameter of thte circular parts of the cap, the bottom circle is about 39mm and the top about 29mm.<br><br>I have a Rolleicord IIIa, which seems to be a Bay-5, according to the fact that I have a hood that says Bay-5 on it and it fits. I can say that the BOTTOM part of the cap fits both lensese of my Rolleicord, and is equal in size to the hood mounting. So what would a cap that is Bay-5 on the bottom but smaller on the top be?<br><br>Identifying notes - It's aluminum and says 'F&H' on the top circle and 'Carl Zeiss Jena' on the bottom one. Also, unlike many rollei caps I have seen, this one is not hinged at all, it is solid aluminum, chrome/metal colored.<br><br>Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patric_dahl_n Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 The Rolleicord III takes bayonet I accessories. The black plastic bay I cap for Rolleicord will fit the III. The lens cap you have is for a pre-war Rolleiflex Automat with bayonet on the taking lens only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
