Rolleicord IIe
The Rolleicord IIe is a model in a long line of Rolleicords which started in 1933 and ended in 1977 and were produced by Franke & Heidecke and later on by Rollei-Werke in Braunschweig, Germany.
It is a medium format TLR camera that uses 120 type Rollfilm. 12 6x6cm square images can be captured for each roll of 120 film.
There is also a Plate adapter available which gives one 6x6 image on a 6.5x9cm size glassplate.
By using an optional Rolleikin 1 adapter 35mm film cartridges can be used.
The Rolleicord II series was produced in 6 different models from 1936 till 1950.
This model, the Rolleicord IIe ,also refered to as Rolleicord II model or type 6, was produced from 1949 till 1950 by Franke & Heidecke and was the last model in the II series.
Main differences with the Rolleicord IId model is that the both lenses now are coated and the Compur-Rapid shutter now has X flash synchronisation. The flash synchronisation socket now resides on the other (right) side of the front panel.
