Description
Rolleiflex is the name of a long-running and diverse line of high-end cameras originally made by the German company Franke & Heidecke, and later Rollei-Werke. First introfuced in 1929, the Rolleiflex was introduced after three years of development and was the company's first Twin-Lens Reflex medium format roll-film camera. This model is an Original Rolleifliex Serial No. 68676, and features the Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar f/3.8 lens. The camera's viewfinder is still functional though the relfex mirror needs to be cleaned. The shutter and winder have not been tested. The camera comes with its original lens cover and an original leather carrying case. The camera measures approximately 3" x 3" x 5.5", and is in fair condition.
