The original Rolleiflex TLR was launched in January 1929 after eleven prototypes had been built 1927-28 and 12 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 different lenses, both Zeiss Tessars, but with the apertures F4.5 or F3.8, respectively.
