The bigger one (Rolleiparkeil) on the viewing lens.
The smaller one for the taking lens.

Sorry about beating a dead horse.. So in the leather pouch should be two lenses? OK.. do those two indipenant lenses screw onto each other for storage in pouch?

ToddB

[BrianShaw]

Yes.

Todd, Thre are two versions of Rolleinar. One has two diopter lenses and a Rolleiparkel. The later version has one diopter and a Rolleiparkel that integrates the diopter. So you should have either two or three parts... depending on how old your set is.

I looked at it the other day.. It has black ringed magnifing lens along with silver tubed lens. You can actually un-screw silver tubed lens to get to lens element to clean it. The black ringed it is what it is.. single piece of glass. so the silver tubed lens goes viewing lens and black ringed lens goes on taking lens?

That sounds right. The one label Rolleiparkel (with a red dot on the edge) goes on the viewing lens with the dot facing up.
