| Rollei's attempt to make the best of Kodak's weak but successful 126 film cartridges resulted in the best available camera for this film system, the Rolleiflex SL26. The camera was made for interchangeable lenses. Priced 628 Deutsche Marks it was too expensive for the beginners film system. Only 28.000 pieces were made. |
The Rolleiflex SL26 was a SLR camera for film cartridges of Kodak's type 125. Three lenses were available, all from Carl Zeiss: The Tessar 1:2.8/40mm which was included in the basic camera set, the wide-angle Pro-Tessar 1:3,2/28 mm, and the portrait lens Pro-Tessar f1:4/80mm. The camera was constructed by the famous German camera engineer Heinz Waaske.
