A beautiful Rolleiflex Standard. This is Model 622, manufactured between 1934 and 1938. The taking lens is a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 75mm f3.5, the brightest lens equipped in the Standard series.
Based on the production period of the Tessar lens, this example is considered to have been made around 1934. It shoots 6x6 format on 120 film. The shutter has a top speed of 1/500 and is fitted with a Compur shutter.
Incidentally, the most popular version of the Standard has always been the one with the slowest f4.5 Tessar (Model 620). Production numbers of the f4.5 version were low to begin with, and finding a clean example is even rarer. If you ever come across one, please let us know at our shop lOl.
With a gentle black and nickel finish reminiscent of the Leica A, its compact and charming stance is highly appealing. And of course, the image quality is outstanding.

Some small areas of black paint loss can be seen, but there are no dings or dents, making this a very clean example of the Rolleiflex Standard. The black paint on the nameplate, focusing hood, and around the exposure table on the back door, which are particularly prone to wear, has also been beautifully preserved.
Overhauled in September 2025, it now offers smooth operation throughout. The Compur shutter has a gentle, pleasant sound. The mirror and screen are clean, making focusing easier than usual for a Standard. The screen level indicator also functions properly.
Although more than 90 years have passed since its production, the taking lens remains free from noticeable cleaning marks or haze, with a clear and crisp transparency.
Comes with a clean genuine lens cap and case. The case shows some light staining.
