Rolleiflex SL 2000F Still Video (1994)

Next >

According to Rollei this Rolleiflex SL 2000F Still Video prototype was built or designed around 1994 and was based on the Rolleiflex SL 2000F with manual 35-70mm zoom and bellows. It was never finished as a product and remained a prototype within the Rollei Museum for over two decades. For the serious collector it appears a bit peculiar why Rollei was tampering with still video technology in a period where every other manufacturer had already switched to digital. At a recent auction it sold for around $3,200.
