Rolfix II Mk2 with Trinar lens 

 

If the Rolfix II with its Trinar lens is uncommon, then the rangefinder version must be considered rare. As yet I do not have one, and have only ever seen two for sale on ebay.

One in excellent condition sold several years ago to Jurgen Kreckel (certo6) for £82. This one from Poland, listed Dec 2011, was offered for the exceedingly optimistic Buy-It-Now price of $250/€187.

(Not surprisingly it did not sell!) 

Rolfix IIE (rangefinder version) 

Rodenstock s/n 2598349 dates this example to May 1952
