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
READ ABOUT THIS LENS PROJECT HERE!
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.
The amount of 900 EUR represents only 50% of the payment;
the remaining 900 EUR is due upon completion.
(total amount - 1800 EUR.)
At the moment, I have accumulated a number of pre-orders, so I estimate that your camera will be ready about 8-9 weeks from the order date
Every camera rebuild is its own project.
I completely rebuild and re-adjust the camera from the ground up.
This work is on a totally different level than a typical CLA.
Having full control over the entire process takes significantly more time and a lot of attention to detail.
I fully strip the camera, inspect every part, and bring all internal components and adjustments back to factory specification or even better.
I clean, renew, re-lubricate, and re-adjust the entire camera, then test every function.
As a result, everything works with high precision and often feels even smoother than it did when new. Focus is calibrated exactly to the film plane, and the camera is film-tested on a dedicated stand to guarantee excellent focus accuracy.
EXPRESS EXPEDITED SHIPPING (UPS) IS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL

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.
