  ROLLEIFLEX - the camera that would not die
Of course the Rolleiflex did change - there are at least 52 different models - depending on how you define - but mechanically the 1937 year´s Automat and the 2.8 GX of 1988 are very much the same camera.
Rolleiflex is not a proper system camera because you could never get interchangeable lenses for it, but it could stretch it´s capabilities.
In the heyday of the Rolleiflex our country had strict control of imports, the standard of living was low, the number of cameras imported was small.

 Storia della macchina fotografica - Rolleiflex
Se si aggiunge che la Rolleiflex era semplice e robusta, utilizzava otturatori Compur ed obiettivi Zeiss è facile intuire che esistevano tutti i presupposti per un successo duraturo.
Quando alla Heidoscop fu applicato il dorso per pellicola in rullo nacque il modello Rolleidoscop (1926) dopo di che la Rolleiflex (1928) fu solo il risultato dell'intuizione che dall'ottima macchina stereoscopica si poteva derivare una biottica eliminando uno degli obiettivi destinati alla ripresa e impostandone lo sviluppo in verticale piuttosto che in orizzontale.
Storicamente la Rolleiflex ha una importanza che travalica l'era della biottica: il suo apparire risvegliò l'interesse per il sistema reflex e dimostrò che era possibile costruire una macchina piccola e leggera, che superava gli svantaggi e conservava i benefici di questo sistema.

When the Rolleiflex first came out in December 1928, it was a great hit for its designer, Reinhold Heidecke.
If you're going to use a vintage Rolleiflex 4x4, you may want to buy a large quantity of the 127 film that it uses right away, since the only manufacturer of 127 film, Kodak, is making noises about stopping production.
Rolleiflex is still in business today, but the high-tech cameras they're producing now don't have the same flash and panache of those old models, with their bumpy leather cases and heavy lenses.

 Camera Review
With the rolleiflex, I'm able to enlarge to 50x60 or 50x50 with a VERY GOOD sharpness and grey scale (normally, I use b/W Ilford FP4).
In comparison with the 6008i (my own system), perhaps it's not suitable for professional use (only one lens is a problem), but, testing the camera and comparing with a Zeiss 80mm plannar, I have to say that the number of lines per mm was a little higher (3 more) with the 2.8GX.
The rolleiflex 2.8GX is a camera that has a particular customer who likes the mechanical technology and the high quality.

 Rollei Rolleiflex MiniDigi - Josh Spear
If you’re familiar with with the Rollei name at all, it’s probably from their 1920’s twin lens reflex Rolleiflex camera which has maintained its popularity, even into today’s photography world.
The MiniDigi maintains a construction that’s faithful to the original design, complete with twin lenses up front (the top one is purely for aesthetics) and a hand crank that has to be turned to reset the shutter for the next shot.
Add into the mix a 3MP sensor that shoots in a square format (the original Rolleiflex shot 6cm x 6cm medium format film) and a minuscule size of 4.9cm x 7.3cm x 4.5cm, and you’ve got what might just be the perfect pocket camera for grabbing street shots.

 [No title]
In zahlreichen Versionen ist die Rolleiflex weiterentwickelt worden; daneben gab es preiswertere Versionen für weniger betuchte Käufer, die Rolleicord und etwa die Rolleiflex T mit einem (billigeren) Tessar 3,5/80.
Vielfach verbessert, wurde doch ein konzeptiv bedingter Mangel der Rolleiflex nicht beseitigt: Sucher- und Aufnahmeobjektiv waren nicht auswechselbar.
Die jüngeren Ausgaben der Rollei, etwa die 1986 vorgestellte Rolleiflex 2,8 GX oder das brandneue Modell 2,8 FX (um etwa 3.500 Euro), sind geringfügig weiterentwickelt worden, etwa durch Einbau einer TTL-Belichtungsmessung (auch bei Blitzaufnahmen) unter Beibehaltung des Bauprinzips.

 PHOTOgraphical.NET - The Rolleiflex 2.8 GX - a review
The "problem" with the Rolleiflex TLR is, that it doesn't have interchangeable lenses, so you are (more or less) stuck with the one you have.
To those familiar with the older Rolleiflex models I can say, that the GX is a bit like the cheaper T model but with an F front with good optics.
The Rolleiflex 2.8 GX is in some respects a camera from the past, but with the addition of coated glass and a new metering system you get superb pictures and ease of use.
