Chronology of cameras Rollei

Traduction de Sylvain Halgand.

The camera of a form which seems banal today, even obsolete and which however revolutionized the world of the photograph… 90 years ago!

Since 1920, the firm formed by Paul Frank and Rheinhold Heidecke manufactured stereoscopic cameras, such as Heidoscope and Rolleidoscop. In 1929, Rolleiflex launched, whose descendants were numerous until the 90's, that they had as a name Rolleiflex, Rolleicord or Rollei Magic.But since 1929, the guiding principle of all these cameras was posed. It was about 6 X 6 cm (117 then 120) TLR. Since, all over the world of tens of models of cameras were manufactured according to this guiding principle.

Document sans titre For the Rolleiflex 6 x 6 and 4 x 4 and the Rolleicord, we use the manufacturer code and a name inspired by John Phillips : The Classic Rollei: a definitive guide (2010)
