The Rolleiflex Tele is a medium format twin-lens reflex camera designed for precision portraiture and telephoto work. It employs the 6×6 cm film format on 120 or 220 roll film, delivering high-resolution square negatives. The viewing and taking lenses are a matched pair: the taking lens is the Carl Zeiss Sonnar 135mm f/4, renowned for its high contrast, minimal distortion, and distinctive depth rendition. The viewing lens is a Heidosmat 135mm f/4, ensuring accurate focusing through the bright waist-level finder with a Fresnel focusing screen.

The camera features a Synchro-Compur leaf shutter with speeds from 1 sec to 1/500 sec plus Bulb, offering flash synchronization at all speeds. Focus is achieved via a precise helical focusing mechanism, with a minimum focusing distance of approximately 2.6 meters, ideal for medium-distance subjects. Film advance, shutter cocking, and frame counting are mechanically interlocked for reliability.
