The Rolleicord Ia is an early 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.
By using an optional Rolleikin 1 adapter 35mm film cartridges can be used.
There is also a Plate adapter available which gives one 6x6 image on a 6.5x9cm size glassplate.
A major difference with its predecessor, the I, is that it has an automated stop at the end of the filmtransport and a framecounter on the right side.
All Ia's were equipped with a Carl Zeiss Jena Triotar 1:4.5 7.5cm lens.
Viewing lens is a Heidoscop-Anastigmat 1:4 7.5cm.
Both lenses can be equiped with 28.5mm push-on filters/hood.
The shutter is a Deckel Compur CR00 offering speeds from 1 till 1/300 second, a T and a B setting.
