Original Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera (TLR), manufactured by Franke & Heidecke in Braunschweig, Germany.
The camera is attributed to the Rolleiflex Standard model (commonly known as 'Old Standard') and bears the characteristic serial number No. 457917. This number dates the camera's production year to approximately 1939.
As a pre-war medium format camera, it uses 120 roll film and produces the characteristic square image format of 6 x 6 cm.
Technical main features
- Camera lens: A highly regarded Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar with a focal length of 7.5 cm and a maximum aperture of 1:3.5.
- Viewfinder lens: A Heidoscop with f=7.5 cm and 1:3.1.
- Shutter: A mechanical Compur central shutter.
The design is characterized by the side manual film transport via crank and the included exposure and distance tables in the fold-up viewfinder cover.
The Rolleiflex TLRs are icons of camera history and are known for their excellent optical and mechanical quality, which has been appreciated by many famous photographers.
IMPORTANT notice for bidders: The camera is offered as UNTESTED, as I have not checked its functionality and cannot guarantee proper technical operation (shutter speeds, focus mechanism, film transport, etc.). Therefore, it will be auctioned in the condition shown in the picture for collectors and enthusiasts.
