Rollei launched the original Rolleiflex 6×6 TLR in January 1929 after eleven prototypes had been built from 1927 to 1928 and twelve production samples in late 1928. It was made for 117 (B1) film and gave 6 frames on a roll. It could be converted to accept 620 or 120 film and give 12 exposures. The back was not hinged as on later models. Film was advanced by a knob. It had no frame counter. There was a choice of two taking lenses, both Zeiss Tessars, of apertures f/4.5 and f/3.8, respectively. The f/4.5 model was considerably cheaper and the more popular.

  • Manufactured: 1928-32
  • Factory Model No: K1 611 and K1 612
  • Taking lens (model 611): Zeiss Tessar 1:4.5/75 mm
  • Taking lens (model 612): Zeiss Tessar 1:3.8/75 mm
  • Finder lens: Heidoscop 1:3.1/75 mm
  • Shutter: F.Deckel-Compur 1-1/300, B, T
  • Serial numbers: 1–199 999
  • Filter size: 28.5 mm push-on

This original Rolleiflex was followed by the "standard" model.
