Manufacturer description #1

The Rolleiflex 6003 professional is the cost-effective way of entering the versatile, future-proof Rolleiflex 6000 system. It differs in some of its details from the top-of-the-range model, the Rolleiflex 6008 integral, but all the opportunities for subsequent upgrading are available. The basic 6003 professional features a 6 x 6/120 film back with preloadable film inserts. If the camera is upgraded at a later stage, this back can be exchanged without problem for any of the system’s film magazines or, of course, for a digital back. The multi-function hand grip of the Rolleiflex 6008 integral is also suitable for use with the 6003 professional, but does not come as standard. All the top-quality lenses of the 6000 system can be used without restriction on the Rolleiflex 6003, and the range of accessories is the same as that for the Rolleiflex 6008 integral. This offers the user unlimited possibilities in a camera system which leaves nothing to be desired.
