Week 23 - Rolleiflex 4x4


Rolleiflex 4x4, originally uploaded by pho-Tony.
This is one of the pre-war (mid 1930's) twin lens reflexes made for 127 rollfilm. After the war, the model was updated and became the "Baby Rollei". Although this example has a fair amount of cosmetic wear and tear, it seems to work OK, so I have loaded it with a roll of Efke black and white film. This takes twelve 4cm x 4cm square photos per roll.

  2. Thanks Drifter, I've kept it up for 23 weeks, so nearly at the half way point now, and enjoying using a different camera each week.
