TLR with continuously variable shutter speed?

Does anyone know of a TLR with a continuously variable shutter speed? In
other words the shutter will produced speeds in between the standard ones
i.e. 1/60, 1/125, etc.?
Thanks,
Steve

A continuously variable aperture is easy why would you want
a variable shutter of this type--it would not be very
repeatable.

I don't know of one. Why do you think you need one? Is it to get the
exposure right? In which case the aperture is most likely continuously
variable.

Yes. I have a mid '50s Rolleiflex TLR that has continuously variable
shutter speeds and aperture.

You do? What model number might that marvel be?

I think my mid 50s Zenobiaflex is like that as well; at least the
lever moves smoothly all the way from 1 sec to 1/500 without any
clicks or such at the markings... I always set it at an exact
indicated speed however, so I'm not sure how it behaves in between
them... And don't want to try it right now as I have film in it.

It's a Rolleiflex with a 3.5f Tessar and no meter. I've seen
conflicting opinions of what the "model number" might be, but I've
traced the serial number to find out the approximate date of
manufacture. I've had it for about 30 years, now.

That being the case, the shutter speeds are fixed. Yes, you can
rotate the speed indicator so that an area between two marked speeds
is displayed but that doesn't mean you are *getting* an intermediate
shutter speed...you'll be getting one or the other. The same is true
of any mechanical shutter I have ever seen.

No it doesn't.

Minolta Autocord is claimed to have a stepless shutter speed:

"Possibly you have noticed that the shutter dial on your camera lacks
click-stops. Minolta claims that this shutter can be set to *any*
speed, even in-between speeds; an unusual feature, although I do not
know how useful it is."
