Rollei 35 Film Speed Selector Knobs (01)
Film Speed Selector Knobs of Rollei 35 cameras.
To the left one from an early, made in Germany, Rollei 35.
Both front as well as back are different from the later, more common, model to the right.
Note that the early type has no teeth and so there is no click-stop feeling when setting the Film Speed.
The later type to the right (part 19436.00.0) was used for all later 35's as well as for the 35T, 35S, 35TE and 35SE.
I'm still searching for more information about when Rollei changed the design of that DIN/ASA knob. So far I have only seen it on a drawing of a Null-series camera in Claus Prochnows "Rollei Report 3" (page 644) and on some of the images of "Made in Germany" models.
If somebody has a Rollei 35 with grooves in the DIN/ASA Knob please let me know the serial number of your camera. Mine has 3074860.
Highest observed number so far : 3085xxx
