My 1955 Rolleiflex 2.8C Planar, taken with my 1960 3.5F Xenotar, while testing a Telesar brand Bay II close up lens that I bought for $10. It is similar to a Rolleinar 2, with a close up lens for the taking lens an a parallax correcting lens for the viewing lens. It works great, especially for 1/10th the price of a Rolleinar.

I have one like this, but it has a "Ricohflex" nameplate on it.
(Mine isn't quite as nice as yours, but it belonged to my grandfather. I need to honor it one of these days with a CLA.)

This is a fascinating camera and, from what I have heard and read, it it a very well made TLR with an especially good Tessar-type lens.
I would love to get my hands on one of these!

I think that the lens is a five-element Heliar clone. This camera is extremely well constructed, it weighs more than a Rolleiflex, and the focus screen is very bright, especially in the center. It is curious that Kallo did not continue producing TLR cameras, as they were on a more innovative track than their Japanese contemporaries.
