The Rolleiflex Automat, model 1 is a medium format TLR camera manufactured by Franke & Heidecke, Braunschweig, Germany.


General

This is the first model in a very succesfull line of Rolleiflex 6x6 Automats. Highly appraised by photographers because its "automatic" functions enabled a faster workflow.

  • Automatic stop at the first frame of the film, no red window needed anymore. Possible by a patented film start sense mechanism which detected the tape that fixes the film to its backpaper.
  • Automatic tensioning of the shutter during the film transport.
  • Double exposure prevention.
  • Blank exposure prevention.
