Using a 4560 back with the Rollei 6008AF

[mark_wilhelm]

I have a Rollei 6008 AF and enjoy the square format for black and

white photography. I would also like to use color film with this

camera and would prefer the 645 format for this. How easy is it to

change back and forth between the 6x6 back and the "rotating" 645

back (which requires an adaptor)? To those of you with the 4560

Magazin, how do you like it? Thanks very much.

It works quite well and I do use it. You take out the film gate which pops out and you attach the adapter. The magazines are smaller and compact and of course rotate to give you vertical or horizontal orientation. It takes about one minute to change formats. When you go back to 6 by 6 you need to put the film gate in with the right end facing up and then apply the 6 by 6 magazine. When I use 6 by 6 I usually use the back for the 6003 Pro which gives me a smaller more compact camera. However that is another story.

Dear Mark, You need to use Magazine 4560 turnable (14987) and Adapter for turnable magazine 4560 (10776). There are additional Film insert for magazine 4560 (14986). You will feel you free with these.
