Chronology of cameras Lippische
Lippische, whose full name is Lippische Kamerafabrik Richter und Fischer GmbH, is often abbreviated as Lipca. The company was established in Bartrup, located in the western part of Germany, in 1947. It was founded by Fritz and Charlotte Richter and Karl Fischer, who had recently left the Soviet-occupied sector.
During the 1950s, Lippische was a highly active manufacturer of twin-lens reflex (TLR) cameras, although they produced only a few different models. These cameras were sold under the names Flexo, Rollop, and Flexora. Some of their production was also marketed under distributor brands, including the Richard brand.
Certain models were exported in significant quantities to the United States. The most well-known among these is likely the Rollop, which can occasionally be found in France.
Lippische whose full name is Lippische Kamerafabrik Richter und Fischer GmbH is often known by the diminutive of Lipca. When I say known, it's all relative, because this immediate postwar manufacturer has not produced many different models. The best known is probably the Rollop found occasionally in France.
The Flexo is a 6 x 6 twin-lens reflex, the only original feature of which is the setting of the focus. It is done by laterally moving the cursor that is below the shooting lens. Both lens move together back and forth, but not the visible lens plate.
The shutter is a classic German of the moment, ie a Prontor S (1/300). The lenses are less common, they are Enna from Munich.
