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.
Les Rollop sont les successeurs en 1956 du Flexora. Ce sont des reflex bi-objectifs intéressants et de belle fabrication.
La seule différence entre le Rollop II et le Rollop I serait la présence d'un levier d'armement rapide, mais l'illustration du catalogue ne le montre pas !
Les Reflexa, Flexo, Flexora, Optimet, Rollop, et le point d'orgue de la marque, le Rollop Automatic constituent un beau sujet de collection.
