Rolleiflex T
Light value scale at camera back

R'flex T adopted the light value system.
With this system, the aperture value couples with the shutter speed and the exposure value becomes always the same.
The aperture value and the shutter speed are indicated in each small-size window at the top side of the view lens ("f" is for the aperture value and "t" is for the shutter speed). Also, light value is indicated in the window beside them.
Not like the other Rollei TLR cameras, R'flex T doesn't have a shutter dial and an aperture dial.
On R'flex T, setting the shutter speed and the aperture value are done by one lever at the taking lens left. Usage of it is as follows: First, set the light value with pulling the lever, and at the same time pushing it either up or down. And then remaining that same position, set the combination of a shutter speed and an aperture value refering to the light value scale at camera back by moving the lever either up or down.
It is said that it is inconvenient when setting them out of the light value.
