This listing features a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera, identified by serial number 1279487. The camera is equipped with a Zeiss-Opton Tessar 3.5/75 mm taking lens and a Heidosmat 2.8/75 mm viewing lens.
The set is presented with a leather Rolleiflex carrying case and includes additional accessories, such as a Rolleikin adapter and a flash unit.
