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 camera that uses 120 type Rollfilm. 12 6x6cm square images can be captured for each roll of 120 film. There are 2 Mask-sets available. One set gives 16 images in size 4x4cm or 4x5.5cm. Another set gives 24 images in 28x40mm or 24x36mm. These mask-sets also contain the right film counter which is exchangeable on the Vb.
By using an optional Rolleikin adapter 135 format film cartridges 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 equipped 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..

Such a set contained a.o. a Vb (grey leatherette), Polaroid film back and an adapter, called Rolleicopi, which corrected the viewer hood for the lengthened film path and larger Parallax error.
