[rollei_list] Re: Lachaize - MECILA Mag 150 for Rolleiflex TLR

Emmanuel, it seems the Relloi Report II second and
reviewed edition has more info about the Lachaize 150
magazine.
The principles to manufacture this magazine were
developed by Paul Lachaize born in 1914 in Lyon, it is
considered one of the most amazing foreign
developments for the TLR. Lachaize built a 6x8
rangefinder camera using the principles applied for
the TLR Magazin. The 150 magazin was manufactured from
1952 to 1969 for the Rolleiflex and Rolleicord, it was
changing according the changes for the Rolleiflex and
Rolleicord; there was a model for the Rolleiflex T and
Magic too.
I think to remember the original manufacturer became
Flashphot afterwards and this is the name quoted in
the Rollei Report II. There is an explanation about
this magazine technical working and detailed
photographs in the Rollei Report II, pages 526 and
527.-

All the best
Carlos
