Rolleiflex T

This is an image of the other side of the Rollei showing film advance crank and frame counter. The Serial No is situated under the bottom lens, mine is T2194937 from which I have found out is the T2 made around the mid sixties. I am certainly not an expert on Rollei's, the controls for the speed and aperture are not between the lenses on this model, but on the right hand side of the lower lens, looking at the front of the camera.(Best seen on other image) Pulling the lever out adjusts the aperture, then withe the lever in normal position this adjusts aperture and speed together to alter dof.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Hal, The T has the crank on the left side as you are facing the face of the camera...just as Tony's picture shows.

Long time since l used one Michael,
but l think the image is right way up and reversed left to right.

Looks prime to me. Load some 6 x 6 film and let's see what she does!
Once you get used to composing upside down, you're golden, unless you can find the prism that inverts the image..

Thanks for the extra view and info Tony.
The T was one of the last Rolleis made.
The serial number has one extra digit compared to mine.
The button near the strap ring, l think removes the hood

Looks so much fun to try this out and get a real photograph.
Hope you can scan and post the results.

They are wonderful cameras, Tony! I had both the 6x6 and the
4x4 (the Baby Rollei) back my my film days. You are going to
have a lot of fun with this!

I never used a TLR, but it looks like a great camera.

Your Dad must have valued this camera. He kept it in excellent condition. I hope that you have many years of good photo shooting with this beauty.
If you feel any mechanical parts resisting, you might want to send it for a clean and lubricate. Those lubricants can dry up in the best of older cameras. My Rollei recently went to Will Van Manen in the Netherlands.
You can have the 120 film developed and scanned at your local lab and then continue with a digital work flow if you don't have a darkroom available.

Very precious! It reminds me of my father's old camera around fifty three years ago,
I am not sure if he still keep it. V
