I just bought a Tele Rolleiflex, and also bough a Rolleinar 0.7 + a Rolleinar 1 for bay 3.
A stupid question maybe, but can I use the Rolleinar 1 without the Rolleinar 0.7 and which range in cm do I get?

Looks like this has the information you seek. Go down to the Tele-Rollei discussion: Which Rolleiflex Rolleinar Close-Up Lens is Right for Me? — Dan Wagner, Writer, Photographer, Content Creator

Thank you for your reply.
I found that site earlier and saw that information, but I thought it was Rolleinar 0.7 + Rolleinar 1 that gave 62-52 cm and not Rolleinar 1 alone.

Sorry if I gave you false hope. What exactly is it that you are trying to achieve?

I was just wondering if the Rolleinar 1 could be used in the same way as they are used on bay 1 and 2, and what the range would be.

I am sad one spends so much and the Mamiya Twin lens cameras do all this with built in bellows.
I used them professionally for over 20 years. way more reliable than hazzelbloods..

True enough! Calculating exposure compensation and parallax is a bit of a pain, but the Mamiyas are brilliant.

The site has it all listed correctly? I am not sure what the confusion is.
The listing below - taken from the link @KoNickon posted lists out the ranges of the "Standard" Rolleinars when attached to the listed swing-out Rolleinar base. That's what was asked, no? Or was this about the Rolleinar alone?
As an owner of the Tele-Rolleiflex myself, I basically never use anything but the Rolleinar 0.35 on mine. 135cm is plenty close (near full head-shot) and I'd rather not deal with the potential parallax issues, which are likely to crop up if you stack Rolleinars like that.
Edit: Re-reading your question you are asking about using the Rolleinar 1 without anything else on the Tele Rolleiflex. Of course that's possible, but I am not sure where you'd end up with the parallax correction.
Anyway the distance I get on my Tele Rolleiflex + a Rolleinar 1 and nothing else is about 120cm to 60cm from infinity to close focus. These are not measured - I was just eyeballing it.

Yes my question was about the Rolleinar 1 alone.
Well, I might try it out. Otherwise I stick with the Rolleinar 0.7.
Thank you for your reply.
