<p>Hello All<br> I just received a Rollie 3.5 serial number in the 1428xxx range and from what I can tell from the Rollie site it has a Bay1 lens mount, is this correct? as I need a lens cap.<br> Everything seems to function properly the focus is smooth, I ran a couple rolls through it and will get them developed as soon as I can.<br> <br />On this camera the Rollie site says there is a button on the aperture wheel the engages/disengages the lock, I can't seem to figure that out<br> "The special feature is a new EV related exposure scale. From serial 1.464.000 the EV coupling can be disengaged by pressing a button in the aperture wheel. From serial 1.700.000 the EV coupling can be disengaged with a switch in the aperture wheel."<br> So far the only negative is there is a dent in the back, I don't know if this is going to be a problem until I get the film developed. I am sure it will need a CLA. If I need a new back is there a source other than e-bay?</p> <p>For a strap are the Chinese ones with the scissor attachment correct for this camera? I can't seem to find an original and they are probably way over priced as I am finding with the lens caps, I don't have a problem spending what I need to to get the pieces I need but there is something to be said for being economical!</p> <p>Thanks <br> Don<br> I am sure there will be more questions to come</p> <p> </p>

<p>Thanks Ray<br> I will try that on the next roll</p>

<p>Thanks everyone<br /> I will use the film for fun and to test the backs etc.<br /> Anything important I will use fresh film<br /> Here are a couple with the old film just to test to see if the cameras still functioned properly<br /> <img src="http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL596/2374373/5806389/412686485.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="600" /><br /> <img src="http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL596/2374373/5806389/412686484.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="600" /></p> <p>Thanks<br /> Don</p> <p> </p>

<p>Hello<br> I just got my cameras out of the safe and found a bunch of film in the camera bag, B&W and color and transparency, it is all past the expiration date mostly 2003 and 2008 on the Agfa APX 100, should I just dump it?<br> None of it would have been exposed to very high heat as it is indoors.<br> Thanks<br> Don<br> </p>
