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.

The Ia's were produced in 3 different versions (models).

This first version was produced from 1936 till 1937.
