AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exceptional and extremely rare medium format TLR Rolleiflex 2.8 D (produced by Franke & Heidecke between 1955 and 1956), equipped with the legendary Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 lens (serial no. 1685434) and Heidosmat 1:2.8/80 viewfinder. Synchro-Compur shutter with speeds up to 1/500s and an integrated EVS system.
This specimen has a unique collectible and documentary value of its kind. On the side of the hooded viewfinder and on another side there is a precise original period engraving done by hand:
"Professor Dr. Gerhard von Frankenberg, Hannover, Kaulbachstr. 4, Germany".
Inside the original rigid brown leather case is also preserved the typewritten label of the era bearing the same name and address: "Prof. Dr. von Frankenberg, 3 Hannover, Kaulbachstr. 4".
Prof. Dr. Gerhard von Frankenberg (1892–1969) was a prominent zoologist, author, and German politician, former director of the Natural History Museum of Braunschweig. A noted intellectual opponent of the National Socialist regime, he was dismissed from his posts in 1933, arrested by the Gestapo in 1944, and interned at the Neuengamme concentration camp. Surviving captivity, he resided after the war at the very address etched on the camera. The presence of these documented traces elevates this camera from a prestigious optical instrument to a true historical relic of the 20th century.
Condition: The camera is in very good aesthetic condition for its age, with normal and light signs of use on the body. The Planar lenses are clean and sharp. Includes the original rigid brown leather case by Franke & Heidecke.
- Weight (in kg): 1.6 kg (approximately 2.1 kg with leather case).
- Dimensions (in cm): 10.5 x 10.0 x 14.5 cm.
- Material: Die-cast aluminum body, chrome metal finishes, black vulcanized leatherette, and natural leather case.
- Color: Black and silver.
- Shipping method: Tracked and insured express shipping. The item will be protected with high-density multi-layer anti-shock professional packaging to ensure its total integrity during transport.
