Prism Finder Compatibility Between SL66 and 6006?

[laurence_smith]

I have been searching, but can't seem to find out if the SL66 finders have any

compatibility with the 6006.

 

Has anyone used this combination? Thank you.

Laurence, <p>

I have checked the Prochnow books on the Rolleiflexes. The order numbers for the SL66 and

SXL/6000 prism finders are different and they seem to have been produced along side for

quite a while. Also their bases look different. I cannot check it out myself as I do not own a

SL66 prism finder, but is does not look positive. The book does not mention compatibility of

the SL66 prism finder with the SLX/6000 cameras. In other cases like the screens the

compatibility is positively mentioned. My conclusion is a SL66 prism finder will probably not

fit any SLX/6000 camera.<p>Best regards,<p>Ferdi.

Ferdi, thanks VERY much for researching this, and looking in the Prochnow books. I had a feeling they didn't fit, and of course they are much cheaper for the SL66 models. I will look for an SLX-6000 series for my newly (old)purchased 6006. I know, I know...taking a bit of a chance with the old 6006 model. But, I am giving it a try, and hoping for the best.

The 45 deg. prism finder for the SL66 and the 600X don't have the same base and fixation system.<br>

Both rotate 360 degrees and have a 2x5 magnification.<br>

- For SL66, the Rollei reference is #208810 (leatherette) or #208 910 (Diamond grid)<br>

- For 6006 the Rollei reference is #97 814.<br>

I join a picture of both prisms, you will clearly notice the attachment system.<br><div></div>

Jean-Louis, THANK YOU. A superb comparison image. Did you set this up and create the image yourself? If so, it looks very professional.

Really very easy to do, Laurence. I'm satisfied if this could help you.
