- rolleigraphy.eu's comparison table is the only source for the weight and dimensions, which match its 6006 model 1 column.
How to tell them apart
- 6002 on the nameplate; an SLX-type hinged back and insert on a body with a hot shoe and multiple-exposure switch (rolleigraphy.eu)
- Shutter-speed knob on the right side with the ISO dial in its face; two front releases with a cable-release socket between them (rolleigraphy.eu)
- No magazine and no dark slide: a camera with a removable magazine is a 6006 or 6008; a 6003 has the 6008-style main switch and spot metering (English Wikipedia)
6002 (1986–90):
- A hinged back with a film insert, as on the SLX, on a body with the 6006's TTL flash metering and hot shoe (rolleigraphy.eu)
- Multiple-exposure switch, which no 6006 model 1 and no SLX has (rolleigraphy.eu; English Wikipedia)
- Mechanical cable-release socket between the two releases retained (rolleigraphy.eu)
- 6002 (1986–90): The only version. Sold as a set with the Rolleigon 80mm f/2.8 (Japanese Wikipedia). 1,450 g and 112 × 127 × 138 mm without lens (rolleigraphy.eu).
Specifications

Where sources disagree
- Film advance (frame rate)
- 0.7 frames/s — rolleigraphy.eu's comparison table
- 1.5 frames/s — English Wikipedia's system table
The same disagreement as on the 6006; neither source cites a Rollei document.

History
The Rolleiflex 6002 of 1986 is Rollei Fototechnic’s entry model for the 6000 system and, in effect, the replacement for the SLX: a 6006 with the interchangeable magazine taken away and the SLX’s hinged back and film inserts put back in its place (English and Japanese Wikipedia; rolleigraphy.eu). It keeps what the 6006 had added over the SLX, TTL flash metering through a photodiode reading off the film and a hot shoe, and it adds one thing the 6006 did not yet have: a built-in multiple-exposure facility, which the 6006 model 2 took over in 1989 (English Wikipedia). The mechanical cable-release socket between the two front releases stays (rolleigraphy.eu).
Japanese Wikipedia records it sold as a set with the Rolleigon 80mm f/2.8, the Tokina-built economy lens introduced with the 6006, rather than the Zeiss-designed Planar, which fits it equally well. The shutter range is the 6000 system’s 30 s–1/500; like the SLX and 6006 it cannot supply the current the PQS lenses need for 1/1000. rolleigraphy.eu’s table gives it the 6006 model 1’s 1,450 g and 112 × 127 × 138 mm and a transport rate of 0.7 frames/s, where English Wikipedia says 1.5.
Production ran from April 1986 to July 1990 (rolleigraphy.eu), after which the 6003 took the fixed-back role with the 6008’s metering and modes. No published review of the 6002 was found; what owners say of the 6006’s handling and lenses applies to it, with the proviso that film cannot be changed mid-roll.
