Which Hood for a Rolleiflex 3.5E

[clark_roberts]

<p>Hi all,<br>

I was surfing the bay again and this week and I had to get what seems is<br>

a great condition 3.5E with a planer 3.5 lens. I have to confess the back in the <br>

90's I had a 3.5f whiteface which I sold and after that regret, so I pick this guy <br>

up. The only thing is the latch has a problem and doesn't work and will not close <br>

so I should get it next week. Anyway I want to get a type II hood for it and I see <br>

there's a few difference's so which one to get is the question?</p>

<p>Thanks <br>

<p>What do you mean by "type II hood"?</p>

 

<p>The following models all use the same lens hood. If a lens hood is advertised for one of these models, it will work on a Rolleiflex 3.5E.</p>

 

<p>Rolleiflex 3.5E<br>

Rolleiflex 3.5E2<br>

Rolleiflex 3.5E3<br>

Rolleiflex 3.5F<br>

Rollei Magic I<br>

Rollei Magic II</p>

<p>A Rollei Bay II hood should work--the real ones are pricey, but there are knock offs on eBay that should work just as well.</p>

<p>There's a type I, a type II that for the 3.5 and a type III for the 2.8 models.</p>

<p>There are Bayonet I, Bayonet II, Bayonet III and Bayonet IV lens hoods from Rollei, as well as some slip-on hoods for early cameras. You are looking for a Bayonet II hood. Rollei made three different Bayonet II hoods, two of which are compatible with the 3.5E. Of the compatible ones, the earlier (pre-1970) one was metal, and the later (post-1970) one was rubber. The other Bayonet II hood from Rollei was a metal one designed for the unique mount of the Rolleiflex 2.8A; it's marked '34 ∅'.</p>

<p>I found a great deal on a hood and case, very clean close to mint looks great an the 3.5E</p>

<p>Thanks to all</p>
