Re: [Rollei] GX Review & Many Images

[Ferdi Stutterheim <ferdi]

Dennis,

Not the screens. The GX and FX have the 600x screen. They cannot be 
used on the older Rolleiflexes.

The new prism fits the classic Rolleiflexes. There is some room above 
the screen to allow for the light-meter display in the new ones and not 
in the old ones. The old prisms may obscure this display on the GX/FX.

Only the FX and not the GX takes the classic straps.

The rest of the newer accessories fits the older cameras. Not all older 
accessories fit the new ones. No Rolleikin for instance.
