Rolleiflex Baby Grey TLR Medium Format Camera

Film Format: 44 cm on 127 Film
Condition: Used Good Condition

The Rolleiflex Baby, serial number 2057355, is a compact twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera manufactured by Franke & Heidecke in Germany, part of the Baby Rolleiflex line designed for 127 roll film, producing 44 cm negatives. This particular version is one of the grey-bodied Baby Rolleiflex 2.8 (postwar model), often fitted with a Zeiss Tessar 60mm f/3.5 lens, and is prized both as a collectible and as a beautiful shooter in the compact medium format class.

Despite its small size, the Baby Rolleiflex retains much of the premium build and optical quality of its larger 66 Rolleiflex siblings.
