The Rolleiflex 2.8 GX is a medium format TLR camera manufactured by Rollei Fototechnic GmbH.
General
Rollei did perceive that there was a big price gap between the Rolleicord and the Rolleiflex at that time (1957).
To fill that gap they decided to design and produce the Rolleiflex T.
To cut costs the automatic film start sense mechanism was abandoned and instead the way of the Rolleicord used, a start marker alongside the film gate. The front mechanisms was simplified for the same reason.
There were 3 models manufactured :
- Model 1 from 1958 to 1961
- Model 2 from 1961 to 1966
- Model 3 from 1966 to 1976, this model can further be divided in cameras with Tessar lenses and those with Xenar lenses.
Furthermore this model received another frontplate design starting from 1970. The so called White Face Rolleiflex T.
