Rollei body cap?

[Glyn Duggan]

Hello

I bought an assortment of odds and ends from a dealer's oddments box
recently, with a view to offering them up on eBay in due course. Amongst
them was a Rollei cap that I assume is a body cap for a medium-format
SLR, though I could well be wrong. I'd be very grateful for help in
identifying exactly what the cap is.

Its overall diameter is just over 58 mm. The face has a textured
finish, with the Rollei name in raised smooth letters, and surrounded by
a smooth rim with serrated edge. The inner face is shiny and has the
word Singapore in small letters. The raised section with bayonet flanges
is a little over 46mm diameter. You can see images ( though not
especially good ones) at

Hi Glyn,

Without actually being able to look closely, I am almost certain it is an SL66 series front body cap; a fairly rare commodity these days. The bayonet is smaller than for the 6000 series and it is also deeper because it fits into the inner bayonet mount in the SL66 camera - the one used for standard lens attachment. The larger, outer bayonet is for reverse mounting lenses.

It's for the SLR 35mm Rolleis. The SL66 caps have smooth edges and are
larger than the reported 58mm.

Thanks, I stand corrected!

It does look slightly different to my SL66 cap but not by much - I did not take in the measurement. I did mentally question my answer as I was typing it - why was it made in Singapore? MF cameras were made in Germany.

I will go to the back of the class for not reading the question properly ;-)

You are describing my Rolleiflex SL 35 E body cap, with identical
diameters (58mm and 46mm) and texture and the word "Singapore".

Look at it this way, Glyn: You have a rare item that "only" needs the
Rollei SLR to complete it!
