Production of Rolleiflex Hy6 Model 2 cameras and lenses. Service and repairs of modern and classic Rolleiflex cameras and lenses.
Camera Production at the Rolleiflex Factory
The German PhotoScala Magazine made this short film not so long ago. Note
the mixture of really old style and high-tech production tools. Anyway it
is clear that all cameras are hand-made. Watch the TLR that is undergoing
final testing of the film transport. It is held on a small wooden box lined
with dark red velvet to protect the lenses. The velvet is so worn and its
colour so ancient that the box could be pre-World War II and it was still
in use. In 2003 a senior member of staff jokingly told me that the thing was
a DIY job by old Mr. Heidecke himself (Reinhold Heidecke, 1881 - 1960, one
of the founders of the company).

Behind the Film - Inside the ILFORD factory
See how film is made. Take a look inside the HARMAN technology factory in Mobberley, England
where they manufacture the ILFORD and Kentmere ranges of black and white film, photographic
paper and chemicals. Find the Rolleiflex (minute 5 and 12).
Film processing with a ‘Refrema’ dip-and-dunk machine.
See how film is developed in a Refrema dip-and-dunk processor at Indie Film Lab. It takes a while before they get to the point
and the presenter is quite happy with himself but it nicely shows how the processor works.
