Chronology of cameras Lippische
Lippische, whose full name is Lippische Kamerafabrik Richter und Fischer GmbH, is often abbreviated as Lipca. The company was established in Bartrup, located in the western part of Germany, in 1947. It was founded by Fritz and Charlotte Richter and Karl Fischer, who had recently left the Soviet-occupied sector.
During the 1950s, Lippische was a highly active manufacturer of twin-lens reflex (TLR) cameras, although they produced only a few different models. These cameras were sold under the names Flexo, Rollop, and Flexora. Some of their production was also marketed under distributor brands, including the Richard brand.
Certain models were exported in significant quantities to the United States. The most well-known among these is likely the Rollop, which can occasionally be found in France.
Lippische was, over the fifties, a very active manufacturer of TLR cameras. they are found with the flexo, Rollop and Flexora names.
A part of the production is found under distributor's brands including the Swiss Richard. Some models were exported in significant quantities to the United States.
Among the three model ranges, the Rollop are the most advanced. The film advance is provided by a side lever rather than by a knob. Despite this, the cocking of the shutter must be done manually. A frame counter and a visual indicator (red or green), both located on the side, indicate to the photographer the winding status of the film and the ability to trigger without risk of double exposure.
