Description
1961 Photographic Camera patent for the popular Rolliflex camera.
.....
Rolleiflex is the name of a long-running and diverse line of high-end cameras originally made by the German company Franke & Heidecke, and later Rollei-Werk. The "Rolleiflex" name is most commonly used to refer to Rollei's premier line of medium format twin lens reflex (TLR) cameras. (A companion line intended for amateur photographers, Rolleicord, existed for several decades.) However, a variety of TLRs and SLRs in medium format, and zone focus, and SLR 35 mm, as well as digital formats have also been produced under the Rolleiflex label. The 120 roll film Rolleiflex series is marketed primarily to professional photographers. Rolleiflex cameras have used film formats 117 (Original Rolleiflex), 120 (Standard, Automat, Letter Models, Rollei-Magic, and T model), and 127 (Baby Rolleiflex).

Just gotta love a Rolli, used one as a "Kidnapper" for quite some time. (Nickname for Photographers doing children's portraits in the home.) Paid my way through school with one. Primarily going to homes following a guy selling a coupons for a 5x7. Setup equipment with three lights and a tripod with a quick disconnect. Shoot six images, and get to the next appointment in 30 minutes. 12 in a day, up and down the coast, from Rockport to Metro Boston to RI. As they sold coupons one block after another in small town developments, it was not far to travel between homes. Built like a Battleship, never wore one out... with thousands of rolls of film.
