Based on Rolleicord Vb (Type 1 or Type 2)
this is the ultimate lightweight medium format setup build around new
multi-coated 5 element "Double Gauss" Planar type lens

Combined with a super bright focusing screen and after a complete rebuild
it delivers precise mechanics and truly outstanding optical performance
that original Xenar lenses simply cannot match!
The final generation of the Rolleicord series
this model incorporates nearly all the engineering solutions needed for professional use, including an interchangeable waist-level finder and focusing screens, double-exposure capability, coupled and uncoupled aperture and shutter speed settings, as well as a double-exposure prevention mechanism.
Build quality
mechanical precision and craftsmanship are on par with the Rolleiflex, featuring the same type of shutter as used in 3.5F, basically no plastic parts as it was used in Rolleiflex T.
Straight film path
the film travels smoothly without bending (unlike the Rolleiflex, where it passes under a roller), ensuring more accurate film positioning in the channel.
Lightweight design
significantly lighter than most Rolleiflex models and even many 35mm cameras.
Simple controls
shutter speeds and aperture can be set manually or linked; film advance is via a wheel instead of a lever.
