It’s a 6x6 TLR camera that uses 120 roll film. It was and is a popular the camera and even today it’s often mentioned on websites as an excellent way to get into medium format photography. It’s a wonderful design that just like the Leica, inspired countless copies over numerous decades. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eThe camera in this listing is the real deal and about as good as it gets. It’s in superb condition and it’s been carefully serviced so you can count on it to you many years of pleasure. The serial number on top of this camera (1400919) indicates that it was produced in Germany in the winter of 1953 or spring of 1954. Over 70 years after it left the factory it still looks fresh and clean and works beautifully. It’s one of the nicest we’ve seen and I think you’d be hard pressed to find a finer example if you want to use a Rolleiflex from this era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eEverything has been carefully cleaned and adjusted.
