Revision as of 19:22, 14 December 2012
The "Rolleicord Vb" is the last 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 for 120 type Rollfilm. 12 images size 6x6cm per film.
There are 2 Mask-sets available. One set gives 16 images size 4x4cm or 4x5.5cm.
Another set gives 24 images 28x40mm or 24x36mm. These mask-sets also contain
the right filmcounter which is exchangeable on the Vb.
By using an optional Rolleikin adapter also 135 type filmcartridges can be used.
A major difference with its predecessor, the Va, is that it has a removable hood and the viewer screen can be easily accessed for cleaning or swap with another type.
All Vb's were equiped with a Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 1:3.5 75mm lens. Viewing lens is a Heidosmat 1:3.2 75mm. Before both lenses is a Bayonet mount Size 1 for filters, lens hood, etc..
