The Classic Rollei is a comprehensive guide to the Rollei twin-lens reflex cameras made between 1929 and 1981. It covers all the production models and virtually all the accessories.

This is a guide to everything you could wish to know about the cameras themselves, plus a fascinating insight into the history of the Rollei brand. The lenses and shutters fitted to the various models are also covered, along with invaluable advice for anyone thinking of buying a Rollei-whether they are collectors or users. The Classic Rollei is an indispensable guide to these world-famous cameras and will interest everyone keen to learn more about photography at the height of the roll-film era.
