Frequently asked questions
Why are Rolleinars sold in pairs?
Rollei TLRs have two lenses - a taking lens (bottom) that exposes film and a viewing lens (top) for composition. Both need identical close-up filters to maintain accurate focus and composition. Rolleinars come as matched pairs - one for each lens.
