Special rebuild based on the Rolleicord Vb WF
equipped with multi-coated 5-element Double-Gauss (Planar type lens)
Magicflex PL 75/3.5
(READ ABOUT THIS PROJECT HERE!)
Why do you use this lens on the Rolleicord Vb?
Because the Rolleicord Vb is like a sister to the Rolleiflex 3.5F and is the final, most refined Rolleicord model of all Cords, it features interchangeable finders and screens, a straight film path for precise film positioning in the film channel, and mechanics on the same level as a Rolleiflex but in a lighter, simpler body.
In practice it’s the ideal platform for a high-performance lens like mine.
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
This camera has been completely rebuilt and re-adjusted.
The work goes far beyond a usual “CLA”: I fully disassemble the camera, check every part, bring all internal mechanisms and adjustments back to factory condition (or better), test all functions, clean, renew, re-lubricate and readjust the entire camera.
All functions now run accurately and smoother than from the factory. The focus is precisely adjusted to the film plane and film-tested on a special stand to ensure excellent focusing accuracy.

Like new restored condition (please refer to the photos).
Comes with the updated focusing screen:
screen, with grid lines and split-image focusing aid.
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.
