Rolliflex 80-year gold edition

Franke & Heidecke may be suffering a temporary insolvency, but a limited edition Rolleiflex pack, dripping in gold, has been unveiled and it can be yours for a trifling 29,000 Euros, in memory of their pioneering achievements in camera construction.

The collectors’ set consists of:

Rolleiflex 4.0 FW, with Schneider Super Angulon 4,0/50 mm HFT
Rolleiflex 2.8 FX, with Zeiss Planar 2,8/80 mm HFT
Rolleiflex 4.0 FT, with Schneider Tele-Xenar 4,0/135 mm HFT

All this is packaged in a Bordeaux nappa leather and walnut box, and comes with CNC-milled lenshoods and filter adaptors.

Buyers also receive an exclusive illustrated book. Only 80 sets are being made, and delivery anywhere in the world is included in the price.
