Using the Rolleitlex
T Exposure
Meter
The
photo-electric
exposure
meter has
two measuring
ranges.
On
the
top
left-hand corner
of the name
plate,
a
switch operates
the high
or low ranges. The measuring
indicator

built into the
focusing knob

of
the
camera.

the
fihn speed

the adjusting
ring until the
correct
speed appears

the cut-out
above
the
indicator
mark
for
ASA or
DIN. Dots indicate
intermediate
values.
2. Set the
measuring range.
In
bright light
out-of-doors, turn
the
meas-
uring range switch
on
the
top left-hand
corner of the
"Rolleiflex"
name
plate
upwards
so that the
red dot
is
covered. In
poor
light
and
indoors
turn the measuring
range switch down
so that
the red
dot is
uncovered.

finely
serrated ring

the
red

with the
black
meter needle.

value in the forward
window of the knob. In

dot
uncovered) read
offthe exposure
value in
the rear red

The Rolleiflex
T,
even when

is
pre-wired
for
subsequent
installation
of the meter.

and replace the
screws.

meter
control unit into
the focusing knob.

the
three screws at the retaining
ring
of

the retaining
screw below
the film type
indicator window
of the meter control
unit as far

it from
its
bayonet
socket
and

of the back
of
the

until the black

to the
green

Reinsert
the control

position
and
