Lipca Flexo
Lippische Camerafabrik (Lipca) made a number of similar TLRs. Flexo (1950) has helical focus by lever under lens. Basic but functional.
Taking lens is Ennar 75mm f3.5
Shutter Prontor-S 1 to 1/300

Lipca Flexora
Essentially the same as the Flexo, but a later model (1952). This one is even more basic than the Flexo at left.
Taking lens is Ennar 75mm f4.5
Shutter Vario 25 to 1/200

Lipca Optina
This is an odd one. It's near-identical to the basic Rollop, comes with an Optina-badged lens cover and case, but I can't find ANY references - WWW, McKeown or anywhere! Presumably it was rebadged for a distributor - this one turned up in Canada. Does anyone know the story?

Lipca Optimet
Another variant on the theme. This Optimet IS identical in all respects to the Rollop 1, apart from the nameplate. The only mention I found in my research is on the German Classic Cameras site, which records it as the latest-dated Lipca TLR (1958 later than the Rollop series), but no other details.

Lipca Rollop I
Lipca moved slightly upmarket with the Rollop (1954), although still a poor man's TLR when compared to the comntemporary Rolleis and Ikoflexes. This model had knob wind, later II had lever.

Lipca Rollop 2
This is very similar to the model 1, except that it introduced semi-automatic lever wind (the lever doesn't cock the shutter, so it only qualifies as being a "semi"-auto).

Lipca Rollop Automatic
The Rollop Automatic (1956) was Lipca's top TLR. It's well specified, but prone to failure, with unreliable wind mechanism tensioning shutter.
Taking lens is Ennit 80mm f2.8
