I asked Harry Fleenor a similar question. I asked him which Rolleiflexes and
Rolleicords are the most resurrectable from his standpoint. He recommended,
among the Rolleicords, the Vb Type 2. I had read that the Vb Type 2 was
probably the best 'cord as a shooter these days. I bought one from
ritzcam.com and Harry has it right now. I have an earlier Rolleicord (a IV).
After carrying a 2.8E or 2.8F around for a while, the Rolleicord feels
pretty light.

Subject: [rollei_list] Which Rolleicord


I am thinking of buying a Rolleicord as a camera to travel with.  I shoot
mostly black and white.  From what I have read while lurking on this list
and elsewhere, I am leaning toward a IV or V.  What are the tradeoffs
amongst these models?

Should I buy one which has already had a CLA (and if so, from whom?) or buy
from ebay and figure the cost of a CLA into the price?

Thanks,
Peter Schauss
