Rollop 2.8 Automatic
Contemporary camera ads price it at $119.50 or DM197 and boast about its f/2.8 taking lens. (The illustrated camera has an Ennagon 1:3.5 lens.)
The camera has a Prontor SVS shutter with speeds of 1–1/300s and B. Both lenses are Ennit 80mm f/2.8 of a four-element Tessar type, made by Enna in Munich. The camera has knob focusing and lever wind with automatic shutter cocking as on a Rolleiflex. The waist-level finder has a fresnel screen with split rangefinder and grid lines for easier composition. The camera has an EVS (light value) system, locking shutter speed and aperture, like that on the Flexaret VII. It can be switched off.
