Re: [Rollei] exchanging focussing screens / Rolleiflex SL 35 E

[Jan Böttcher <jab]

  A cruise liner way off in the Northern Sea was about to sink, and the captain
told his officers, the ship is lost, and passengers should leave the ship and get
into the life boats. The offices came back and told the captain, the passengers
refuse to leave the big ship and climb into those little boats.
  So the captain had to go and tell. A minute later all were from board and the
officers asked the captain how he did that.
  His reply: "I told the Norwegians, their neighbours were already in the boats on
the ship's other side. I told the British they were good sports when they get into
the boats. The US-citizens I told they were insured in case they do it and will
get sued in case they don't. To the Japanes I said it was good for their virility."
So the officer replied: "But how on earth did you get teh stubborn Germans into
the boats?" "Oh, I forgot, that was the easiest part, I simply said it's an order and
it is prescribed in the manual."

In other words: unless you prefer to take showers lukewarm and take your p...
sitting down you can exchange the screens by yourself.
