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.
