I took my 1962 Rolleicord Vb + 16-on Kit to Southend-on- Sea, Essex ( England ) -- it was loaded with outdated Ilford Delta 400 Pro as the light had been bad-- then light got much better so I CUT the film and processed 8 frames in my home-made Microphen formula 1+1 for 11 mins @ 70oF and scanned negs with Epson 1650 flatbed+ Vuescan Pro + PhotoShop 7
I used a RED filter over the Xenar lens for this

I held a Grad Yellow filter over lens hood for this

I used 1/500th second for this candid

Nice!

I had never heard of the 16-on kit!
I remember me when I was on elementary school the schoolphotographer used a Rollei(cord) wit a 135mm adapter.
That was just not enough negatives to go for a group; the classes counted 38 or 39 children in that days.
So I could see a filmchange in the classroom.
I never saw anything like changing 120 films happening after 16 pics.
The 16-on kit is quite rare I presume?

I bought my 16-on Kit off e-bay for about £ 5-00 -- I have a friend with RolleiFLEX T who also has a 16-on kit for that model.I did a Video about my 16-on Kit here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGy9JQgElJI
hope this is helpful -- Peter
