The RolleiMagic definitely was an entry level type offered by Rollei and is in no way comparable to the Rolleiflex or even Rolleicord.
I got mine at some yard sale almost 30 years ago, used it a few times, was not very impressed by the optical quality, put it in a box and forgot about it.
I found it again today, over 25 years after having used it the last time. The RolleiMagic is designed to be used in fully automatic mode, using input from the selenium light meter to select the appropriate f-stop between f/3.5 and f/22 and exposure time between 1/30 and 1/300 s.
Selenium meters have the advantage of not requiring a battery, but they simply stop working after a time because of the degradation of the semiconducting properties of the material used. Mine is still working, probably because the camera was stored in cool, dry, dark conditions throughout. I doubt that the readout is still accurate, though However, the RolleiMagic also has a not-fully-automatic mode (two in fact, one for flash and one for available light.
In the available light manual mode, exposure times between 1/30s and 1/300s are chosen automatically, depending on the user-selected aperture.
I will put a film through it and see how it turns out. Then I'll decide what to do with it.
This was taken with a 2003 Leica D-Lux, which is not to be confused with the new Leica type 109.
Porto, January 2015. Tripod, filter #8, overexposure. Printed on Ilford MG IV FB, patience, preflash, burn-ins and careful selenium.
Lifa Colorlux
Selenium cell powered Lightcolor meter.
Found in a Polish thrift shop July 2020.
That thrift shop only sold second hand stuff coming from Sweden (by the truck loads).
This is my second Colorlux meter and quite remarkably different from my first one !!
I now realize that my first Colorlux meter has 2 selenium cells while this second Colorlux has only 1 cell (hidden underneath the dial) and is only able to measure the lightcolor, not the exposure value.
Hmmm......

My wife had traveled with the boy, I had a whole afternoon to myself so I called a model in. It was just a two hour shoot with available light but I enjoyed it.

Rolleiflex 2.8E. Film Maco PO 100c. Printed on AGFA Portriga-Rapid PRN 118. Developed in Moersch Eco 4812 + Selenium 1-20 + bleach 1-50 + MT3 70-10-850
The folding Zeiss Contessa 35 (model 533/24) was designed by Hubert Nerwin and made in Stuttgart during the effort to rebuild the Zeiss Ikon name after WWII. Produced between 1953-1955 Nerwin included elements from his Super Ikonta's design and specially the distinctive extra lens for the coupled rangefinder.
The camera was superbly made in every respect and was equipped with a coated f2.8 45mm Zeiss Optron Tessar lens, 9 speed Synchro Compur shutter, uncoupled Selenium exposure meter, MX flash synchronisation and coupled rangefinder. The latter having a prism rather than the usual mirror.
Above all was the high quality excellence of everything coupled with a very distinctive appearance.
Been selenium toning this series in the dark room, this was my first attempt at creating a similar effect digitally with Photoshop.
Originally shot on a 4x5 view camera with Polaroid Type 55 film in studio lighting conditions.

This is the South Face and Low Peak as seen from the Terminal Lake of the Hooker Glacier. Middle and High Peak are behind the Low Peak. Climbing to one and then traversing the others is a Grand Traverse - a stirling climb, and one I'd highly recommend. Just don't descend Fyfe's Colouir (Fyfe's Gut as some know it by) back to Empress Hut - that route sucks beyond all measure.

Lith on Brovira BH111 in Se5 (+D + E), toned in selenium/gold (1:00, 1:30)
A relatively recent box of Brovira (~1970) which is uncommonly slow and controllable in the lith process (slow infectious development), the tone with this combination is, ehm special, but with the selenium/gold toning it comes quiet fine and it's not necessary to have an orange lithprint to achieve blue tones in the gold toner. This BH111 is a bit like the poor man's Oriental New Seagull ...
(Yes, I know, I should really level the horizon here, but it was 1 am and me completely obsessed with the tones and contrast - if you want to buy it, you get it leveled ...)
