hey.
My wife inherited a Rolleiflex Camera from her grandfather and I am having a difficult time trying to identify it. It appears in good working order, and we are running some film through it to see what kind of pictures it takes. From what i could find online from The famous International Rollei Club - www.rolleiclub.com , it appears to be a Rolleiflex 3.5C or 3.5E
(serial number is 1746192) this model has the light meter and 75mm carl zeiss 1:3.5 planar lens. the top lens just says heidosmat 1:2.8/75.
everything on it seems to work good, aperture control is smooth, and shutter speed control is smooth. focusing is smooth. some of the other buttons on it, i have no idea what they are. my wifes grandfather bought this camera new in the 50's i think, and used it when he traveled around france and germany.
if anyone has any additional information on how to use this camera, or can link to any online resources that can help, it would be much appreciated. maybe later I can post actual pictures taken by the camera. (hope i got the right film for it, the guy at the camera store picked out the film)
