Details

The well-known and famous Rolleiflex 6x6 two-eye reflex cameras have been copied by many photo camera manufacturers (especially Japanese). Various Japanese copies are also known of its smaller brother, the Rolleiflex 4x4 Baby TLR. This PRIMO-JR (Junior) from the Japanese Tokyo Kogaku factory - which also made the renowned Topcon cameras - is a beautiful example of a well-made Baby Rolleiflex copy. The 4x4 TLR cameras were especially popular with photo amateurs who wanted to project their slides in a large format. Remarkable is the clarity of the focusing glass in the Primo JR, according to experts the clearest setting glass of all other 4x4 TLR cameras. The 'Primo JR' was also released under the name 'Sawyers Mark IV' for export to the USA and a 'Primo JR-II' is also known.
