ROLLEI ROLLEIFLEX T

The Rolleiflex T is a medium format Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera manufactured by Franke & Heidecke and later by Rollei, first introduced in 1958. It was designed to fill a price gap between the Rolleicord and the Rolleiflex. To reduce costs, it abandoned the automatic film start sense mechanism in favor of a start marker alongside the film gate, and its front mechanisms were simplified. The camera uses 120 type rollfilm for 12 exposures of 6x6 cm, and can be adapted for 16 images of 4x4 or 4x5.5cm with a special mask set. It features a Carl Zeiss Oberkochen Tessar 1:3.5 f=75mm taking lens and a Synchro-Compur leaf shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/500 sec.
