Patric:
Sorry to hear you got a bad cord iv. Mine is tack-sharp. Maybe somebody in
the dark past of the camera tried to fix a scratched lens by swapping
elements with a parts camera? That would kill the performance, since the
elements were hand matched at the factory. The iv uses the same lens as all
later rolleicords, the xenar.
I thought of that too, but the Rolleicord III I had had the same problem,
and both cameras were in excellent condition. Their Xenars were equally bad.
They focused correctly on the film plane, but lacked the biting sharpness of
other Xenars and Tessars. Stopping down to f:11-16 didn't help.
All the Triotars on my pre-war Rolleicords are fine, sharp and contrasty.
The 3,8 Triotar on my Rolleicord I, type 2, is a little soft though.
