I found a biography(*) of Heinz Waaske on the local Darmstadt photo fair
about three years ago (should have bought a second copy for myself...). The
book does not mention him in the context of the Rolleiflex SL35* series at
all - I paid special attention to that. He designed the A26 126 viewfinder,
but I am not sure he had a hand in the SL26 (too butt-ugly, IMHO).
His last project with F&H was the Rolleimatic, after which he left the
company (~1978, the wikipedia says), and worked as a freelance designer
with various other camera manufacturers.
