Jim -
I have a Rolleicord III just like you had. Mine has a
Xenar; most that
I've seen do. I have covered the inside with black velvet
flocking
cloth; Harry Fleenor keeps in in tune for me. It is a
wonderful,
ergonomic camera with a really fine lens. Back when Kodak
used to
mount 66 Kodachrome slides in cardboard mounts, I would
show them on
an 60's vintage Polaroid MF Projector (got it NOS for
$50). The impact
of the all the detail this crazy old system produced used
to make
people gasp (maybe it was just my bad photography). Mr
friends with
Hassies would shake their heads in disbelief...

I used a few Rolleicord III's in the past and don't
remember any absorbent cloth inside. I wonder if some had it
and others didn't or if it was an aftermarket thing. Both my
original and current IV's have internal baffles. BTW, some
cameras may benifit from touching up the edges of the
baffles with Krylon Ultra-Flat Black paint. Some seem to
have edge reflections. Probably this paint would reduce the
flare in older cameras without the baffles but, of course,
would not be original. One can obtain flocking paper from
the same people that sell leather replacement covers for
Rolleis, I am drawing a blank on the name at the moment.
