The Rollei magic is a medium format TLR camera manufactured by Franke & Heidecke, Braunschweig, Germany.

It was Rolleis answer to the desire at that point in time for a TLR with an automated exposure control. Rollei could achieve this when the shutter company Prontor designed a new shutter for just that purpose, the Prontormat-S.

The Rollei magic uses 120 type Rollfilm. 12 6x6cm square images can be captured for each roll of 120 film.
By using a special mask set the camera can be adapted to shoot 16 images 4x4 or 4x5.5cm on a roll. The mask put into the filmgate does automaticly change the frame counter from 12 to 16 exposures.
