Hello:

Please let me correct a few things. I know about the Contarex etc.

What I am meaning, all these manufacturer's dropped producing such 
cameras. 

The Rollei 3003 was an attempt offering a 35 mm camera similar to the 
6x6 Hasselblad "Block". 

When Rollei did ship this camera, I recall they had quite some 
serious financial problems and did expect the 3003 would help them to 
book again black figures.

But....today I do not know any 35 mm camera manufacturer offering 
film-back interchangeability. ( I am talking about new cameras).

Regards/Pieter
