PRE-ORDER payment - SPECIAL BUILD CORD VB - Magicflex PL 75/3.5

825.00

__________________________________________________________

PRE-ORDER for the special rebuild based on the Rolleicord Vb (type 1 or 2)

equipped with multi-coated 5-element Double-Gauss (Planar type lens)

Magicflex PL 75/3.5


I always keep a certain stock of selected Vb that are ready for a complete rebuild with my new lens

I don’t provide any photos, since most cameras are assembled entirely from scratch.

The general condition can be estimated by looking at examples of cameras I’ve already sold. it’s always better than anywhere else on the internet, especially when it comes to the optics!

The amount of 825 EUR represents only 50% of the payment;

the remaining 1650 EUR is due upon completion.

(total amount - 1650 EUR.)


At the moment, I have accumulated a number of pre-orders, so I estimate that your camera will be ready about 4-5 weeks from the order date.

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.


Paired with the new lens, super bright focusing screen and after a complete rebuild it becomes the ultimate lightweight medium format camera, combining precision mechanics with truly excellent optical performance of the

Magicflex PL 75/3.5 lens.

IMPORTANT

The camera will be completely rebuilt and re-adjusted

(The amount of work is greater the the usual overall "CLA", I check out the complete camera and take it fully apart, bring all the internal parts and adjustments back to the factory condition or even improve the factory settings, test all functions, clean, renew, re-lubricate, and readjust the whole camera), therefore all functions will work accurately and even smoother than from the factory, the focus will be adjusted to the film plane and also film tested on the special stand for excellent focus accuracy.

Comes with the updated focusing screen:

"PRO ULTRA BRIGHT"

__________________________________________________________


The viewing lens has been reworked to match the taking lens as closely as possible and has been fully cleaned internally. The glass is free from haze and fungus with minor cleaning marks.


The taking lens was produced in a very limited quantity and is essentially brand new, carefully assembled and individually inspected by myself.

USA CUSTOMERS


Due to new customs regulations effective September 1, 2025, UPS is currently the only carrier we can use to ship from Germany to the United States. The good news is that, based on our October 2025 shipments, total fees and duties have not exceeded about $150 for a used camera—even on items valued above €5,000 so no significant taxes or fees are expected.
