Which version of the 'Cord did you have? My first real camera
was a 'Cord IV bought just after they were discontinued (thanks
mom). I used it for years until it was stolen. I have a duplicate
now. IMO it is the best minimalist camera. Has everything you
would normally use, no extras like self timer or light meter, is
light and I think ergonomically excellent. Both my original and
my current one have Xenar lenses which seem to be excellent. I
used a borrowed 'Cord III for a time, another good camera but the
semi-auto loading of the IV is handy.

I used a Rolleicord when I worked for a newspaper several lifetimes ago. My
eyes were sharp then (and they're not bad now!), and I had no trouble focusing
the ground glass. But as age marched on, and if I were trying to photograph in
dim light, I really missed the split-image ground glass.
