The camera :
My first Rolleiflex, mint condition, never used with all accesories included.
The Automatic Rolleiflex 4x4, popularly known as the "gray baby" Rolleiflex, was introduced in 1957, at an announced list price of USD $133.65.[1] It is a knob-advance twin-lens reflex yielding 12 exposures of 4x4cm on 127 film. It has a Schneider Xenar 60/3.5 taking lens and a Heidosmat 60/2.8 viewing lens.
This model helped kick-start a brief boom for 38mm × 38mm "super slides" (whose slide mounts were the same external dimensions as 35mm slides, but offering a larger image area), and inspired several Japanese lookalikes such as the Yashica 44.
-------------------------------
L'appareil :
Mon premier Rolleiflex, état parfait, jamais servi dans sa boîte avec tous les accessoires :-)
Au début de son histoire, le Rolleiflex fut d'abord un modèle au format 117 (6 x 6), puis il évolua en 120. Le Baby est un 127 (4 x 4).
Les modèles Baby sont généralement noirs comme les "grands", mais ce modèle de 1957 (-1963) se caractérise par un couleur gris bleuté,à laquelle est du le nom de "grey baby".
