Dufaycolor and Autochrome were complex and expensive color systems
from the beginning of XXth century, it was in 1932 that Dufaycolor
became a workable motion film made by a British company and in 1932
first Rolleikin prototypes were already developed; the Rolleikin was
not intended for those color systems, it was intended for the massive
market using 35mm B&W film in 1932/33.-
