The Rollfilmkamera, or simply Rollfilm in non-German-speaking countries, is a series of folding cameras produced by the German company Voigtländer.
The cameras were introduced in 1927 as the company's first foray into rollfim cameras. The name of the camera was simple and to the point. The cameras were made until 1931, when they were replaced with a wider variety of "named" cameras made by Voigtlander.
The cameras were made in at least three different sizes: 5x8 for use with 129 film, 6x9 for use with 120 film, and 6.5x11 for use with 116 film. Some literature suggests that a fourth version was made, creating 8x14 negatives on 122 film and on plates,[1] but the existence of this size is uncertain.
