Rollei manufactured about 45 different electronic flash models from 1967 to 1981 at Braunschweig and Singapore (a few models were made in other sites like Japan), some "monsters" like the E60, E66, E34C(880g), E36 RE were used for MF mainly but they can be used for 35mm cameras of course, other flashes like the E-B and E-BC series were suitable for little cameras like the Rollei 35 (E 15 B, 120g); between these two type of sizes there were several models suitables for any SLR 35mm camera. The Rollei Beta 4 is provided with a Thyristor semi-conductor device and sensor, it was manufactured from March 1981 to about July 1981 by Sankyo, Japan, the GN is 24 for metres ISO 100.
