The Wide-Angle Rolleiflex is a medium format Wide-angle TLR camera manufactured by Franke & Heidecke and later on by Rollei.
Contents
General
The Wide-Angle Rolleiflex was Rolleis answer to the growing demand for a Rolleiflex with a wide-angle lens.
This choice to design and produce a wide-angle TLR was furthermore induced by the appearance of the Mamiya C serie of TLR's which feature interchangeable lenses.
In fact Rollei did design a prototype with 3 interchangeable lenses but decided that the needed extra mechanisms did lower the handling capacities too much.
It is designed using the Rolleiflex E as a base.
There were 2 models manufactured :
- Model 1 from 1961 to 1965
- Model 2 from 1965 to 1967, which could handle both 120 and 220 film rolls.
35 years after the end of the production Rollei introduced a follow-up, the Rolleiflex 4.0 FW.
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: Carl Zeiss Oberkochen Distagon 1:4 f=55mm.
- Viewing lens: Heidosmat 1:4 f=55mm.
