Robert Doisneau (1912-1994), the famous French photographer is also
known because he used the Rolleiflex as main camera for several
decades, the following image is a 1947 self-portrait where he appears
holding his Rolleiflex Standard camera:

F&H simultaneously manufactured the Rolleiflex Automat and the
Rolleiflex Standard along several months, the Standard production
ended on May 1938, the last version was provided with a CZJ Tessar
3,5/7,5cm lens and a Compur 00, 1-1/300th s, T and B shutter. The
Standard kept a high demand and it was one of the reasons F&H produced
the Standard New from May 1939 to June 1941, other main reason was to
cover the price gap between the Rolleicord and the Rolleiflex; the
Standard New had as basis an Automat prototype without film sensing
mechanism, without self-timer, with levers replacing the wheels for
f/stops and shutter speeds however keeping the Tessar lens and the
Compur Rapid shutter.
