ROLLEIFLEX 3.5 MX-EVS type 1 TLR Camera withTessar Lens, Case, Lens Hood. and Rolleikin

Rolleiflex 3.5 MX-EVS type 1, a high quality twin-lens reflex camera, made 1955 - 1956 by Franke & Heidecke in Braunschweig, Germany.

Body serial number 1 463 100. Rapid film advancelever with automatic stop and frame counting (no need to lookfor numbers to appear behind a red window). Viewing lensHeidosmat 1:2.8 75mm (serial number 2 471 217), takinglens Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 1:3.5 75mm (serial number 1 662 538).

Waist level ground glassviewing with built-in magnifier. Sports-finder. Eye-levelreflex viewing via additional mirror andmagnifier built into en ligne the viewing hood.

The camera comes with

• a bayonet-mounted lens hood
• brown leather case
• Rolleikin attachment to use 35mm film spools for inexpensive portrait-type pictures

The camera shows signs of age and use, in particular paint loss at exposed metal parts.

However, to the best of my knowledge, it is completely functional:

• Film transport and shutter cocking work (including the double-exposure feature.
• Lenses are reasonably clear .
• Shutterworks at all speeds, self-timer runs down without hesitation.Flash contact works.
• Focusing and exposure time/diaphragm settings are smooth.
• The Rolleikin components are working to transport the 35mm film and count the number of frames. I am not sure that the cover for the sports-finder is correct: the rectangular opening seems to be 90 degrees away from the correct position.
• The leather case shows major signs of use, but is doing a good job protecting the camera.
