Most of the Rolleiflex books have sections on the Rolleicord. Like the Rolleiflexes, preference is often given to the more recent ones. The Vb is probably most sought after as a shooter. I don't know that there is enough difference between the Vb Type 1 and Type 2 to make a difference unless you use flash. For a while, I was searching for a Vb on e**y. The best one I could find was in Germany for a price of over $1,200. Fine for a collector, but not for me.

How many distinct Rolliecord types/variants are there? Is there a feature matrix which details the specs of various Rolleicords? Is there a definitive Rolleicord reference document that I should know about? What is the model # of the last Rolleicord produced? Thanks. Lots or rain & wind here in NJ.
