The Rolleiflex T - Type 1 with a Carl Zeiss Tessar 75mm f3.5 lens! Comes with the original case!
The Rolleiflex T is a medium format TLR camera manufactured by Franke & Heidecke and later by Rollei.
Rollei perceived that there was a big price gap between the Rolleicord and the Rolleiflex at that time (1957). To fill that gap they decided to design and produce the Rolleiflex T. To cut costs the automatic film start sense mechanism was abandoned and instead the way of the Rolleicord used, a start marker alongside the film gate. The front mechanisms were simplified for the same reason.

By using a special mask set the camera can be adapted to shoot 16 images 4x4 or 4x5.5cm on a roll. The mask put into the filmgate automatically changes the frame counter from 12 to 16 exposures.
