Rolleiflex T Xenar

The Rolleiflex T Xenar is a twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera manufactured by Rollei in 1975, designed to provide an entry point into the medium format 120 film world. As a member of the Rolleiflex "T" series, it utilized the simpler, less costly Xenar lens in place of the more expensive Planar or Zeiss Tessar lenses found on Rollei's flagship models. Characterized by its straightforward design and robust build quality typical of Rollei's engineering ethos, it offered photographers a reliable, albeit basic, medium format experience. The camera aimed to make Rolleiflex quality more accessible, focusing on functional operation without the advanced features or premium optics of its siblings, making it a practical tool for hobbyists and professionals seeking a straightforward medium format option at a lower price point.
