Rolleiflex 3.5E with 75mm, f3.5 Zeiss Planar, 1953-1956

For those of you who have reached this page hoping to find Rolleiflex cameras for sale, I apologize. Although this camera is somewhat removed from the antique photographic items highlighted throughout the other pages here at BoxCameras.com, it is nevertheless an important example of what certain early box-style cameras evolved into.

Technically, the Rolleiflex is not a true box camera per se, but now over 50 years old, it remains one of my active 'shooters'. I have always loved the clean lines, satisfying heft, and fantastic performance of Rollei twin lens cameras. All things should be made this well.
