| Rollei SL26, one of the few single-lens reflex cameras made for the 126 film cartridge |
The Rolleiflex SL26 was a manual-exposure SLR camera for Kodak's 126 film. Three lenses were available, all from Carl Zeiss: the Tessar 1:2.8/40mm, which was supplied with the camera, the wide-angle Pro-Tessar 1:3.2/28 mm, and the portrait Pro-Tessar 1:4/80mm. The camera was designed by the famous German camera engineer Heinz Waaske. Only 28,570 examples were made, and at DM 628 ($299.50), it was the most expensive camera made for the format.
