Rolleiflex Baby – Grey TLR Medium Format Camera

Rolleiflex Baby – Grey TLR Medium Format Camera 

Film Format: 4×4 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 4×4 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 6×6 Rolleiflex siblings.
