Hi Tony, brilliant. Did I ever tell you I collect cameras, I have over 300? My favourite is a 1933 Leica Rangefinder, the inventor Oskar Barnack was still alive at that time. You probably know he was the chap the took 35mm for the film industry and built a camera around it in the late twenties. I did see one of his early cameras for sale a while back, it was £10,000, I passed on that. Cheers Sid
Tony, that camera is a Rolleicord, not a Rolleiflex. It is the lesser expensive model that needs the shutter cocked prior to each photo. It still has the same 75mm f3.5 Tessar lens that the Rolleiflex has, so the photo quality would be the same. I have both models.
Absolutely fascinating!

Tony, what kind of Kodak film did Lee use in the Rollei? Was it Tri-X, Super XX, Plus X, or Verichrome Pan?
