Is this an 'Original' Baby Rolleiflex 4 x 4 Model 4RF 411??

Postby baby » Thu Oct 22, 2009 4:00 pm

First of all- Hello everybody, I'm new to the rollieclub and to be honest quite thankful for it's existence, so thankyou for having me and I hope that people don't get upset with me If I ask any silly questions.. because I am a Rollei virgin who's just popped his Rollei cherry. So please be patient with my ignorance. :)
Now down to the nitty gritty; I just came into ownership of this, my first ever Rolleiflex- A Black Baby rolleiflex 4X4 and would appreciate any info on it. I have scoured the internet but was left in confusion between two models (after of-course checking serial numbers at www.rolleiclub.com ).

125.000* - 145.000*
Rolleiflex 4x4 3,5 model 1 - Prochnow
Baby 4x4 1931 Rolleiflex - Parker
3.5 Original Baby - Evans

127.000- 523.000
Rolleiflex 4x4 3,5 model 2 - Prochnow
Baby 4x4 1934 Rolleiflex - Parker
Black Baby (type 1 - Evans




The serial number is 1456**
- and the last two digits are missing but at closer inspection they look like 17 (possibly)..

so maybe serial is No. 145617.

Viewing lens reads - Heidoskop-Anastigmat 1: 2,8 f- 6 cm

Viewing lens Number - 132752

Focus lens reads - Tessar 1: 3,5 f= 6 cm

Focus lens number - Carl Zeiss Jena Nr. 1327345

Number under shutter release - 2392959



It was sold to me as an-

"Original Baby Rolleiflex 4 x 4 Model 4RF 411"
Early 1930s. Complete with original case-
Camera fully functioning but could do with an overhaul. Paintwork a bit battered & view finder magnifier (small magnifying glass) missing.
Has red window on the back.

But then I saw this one -http://www.Pacificrimcamera.com/pp/rollei/prebaby.htm which is different to my own so I'm just more confused than ever

Did I buy the right camera as advertised or did I buy a dud?

I would really appreciate any info in identifying the correct model and year and of-course if it has any real monetary value. I bought it to use it but if it is a rare model then I think I'll just baby it (excuse the pun) and only take out for exercise on occasion. :)

Thanks in advance to anyone who took the time to read all that and bother posting back. :)

P.S- I will take some photos soon and post them back up here in case the information I gave isn't enough. :)

Here are the photos-

Im sorry about all the links - I tried to copy flickr's HTML but it didnt work when i previewed it.. Hope this is alright. If it isn't and I'm breaking any rules then please let me know and I'll take this post down.

Thanks again for having me- it's been a pleasure cruising through the site.

To me two things become obvious:
a) all this serial number business is proven uselesss (again)
b) pacrims pic sucs - and probably they are showing the second model (with a display window for f-stop&shutter speed above the taking lens).

Best
