General
The Tele Rolleiflex was Rollei's answer to the growing demand for a Rolleiflex with a tele lens.
This choice to design and produce a tele TLR was furthermore induced by the appearance of the Mamiya C serie of TLRs which feature interchangeable lenses.
In fact Rollei did design a prototype with 3 interchangeable lenses but decided that the needed extra mechanisms lowered the handling capacities too much.
It is designed using the Rolleiflex E as a base.
There were 2 models manufactured :
- Model 1 from 1959 to 1966
- Model 2 from 1966 to 1975, which could handle both 120 and 220 film rolls.
32 years after the end of the production Rollei introduced a follow-up, the Rolleiflex 4,0 FT.
Specifications
- Format : 12 exposures of 6 x 6 cm on 120 type rollfilm.
Model 2 also 220 type rollfilm (24 exposures of 6 x 6cm).
Furthermore a Plate adapter for sheet film and a Rolleikin adapter for 35mm film cartridges can be used. - Taking lens: 135mm f/4 Sonnar
- Viewing lens:
- Filter Bayonet : Both lenses, size 4.
- Shutter: Synchro-Compur MXV CR0 leafshutter. Speeds 1 to 1/500 sec. and B. Selftimer.
- Flash synchronisation : Synch socket on front panel, M and X synchronisation.
- Lighmeter system : Optional, coupled, Selenium photo element, 2 ranges.
- Dimensions WxDxH: 128 x 113 x 152 mm
- Weight: 1355 grams
