RE: [Rollei] Automat mechanism. was: Can someone describe the Rollei 2.8 FX?

[Richard Urmonas <rurmonas]

The choice to not fit the feeler mechanism is very simple.  As with most things
these days it is all based on profit.  The question boils down to:

With no feeler mechanism, the production cost = A, selling price = B, estimated
quantity sold = C => estimated profit (D) = C * (B - A).
Now we do a similar calculation for the unit with a feeler mechanism, with
estimated profit = E.

If E > D fit the feeler mechanism.
If E < D or even E approx the same as D, then do not fit the mechansim.

I am sorry if this has been discussed.  Between working long hours, and now
being at home with a flu / cold I have missed most of this thread.
