Raimo-
There are two Rolleikins- one for the earlier TLRs and the Rolleikin 2 for
the later models. The shifting pressure plate moves so that when the
Rolleikin is installed, the back will close! If I am not mistaken, the
earlier Rolleikins had the adjustable back included since the factory back
did not have the provision for the Rolleikin. Later models had the back as
standard and took the Rolleikin 2.
If you need help with determining what model you have, email me privately.
The Rolleikin is a neat item, and fun!

YouŽll need the Rolleikin adapter for 35mm film.
All the best!
