As the more accessible but equally precise sibling to the Rolleiflex, the Rolleicord V is revered for its minimalist design and exceptional mechanical reliability. It features a dual-lens system: a bright Heidosmat 75mm f\/3.2 viewing lens (S\/N: 1319027) for effortless waist-level focusing and a world-class Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 75mm f\/3.5 taking lens. This four-element Tessar-type objective is legendary for its edge-to-edge sharpness and the creamy, three-dimensional \"pop\" it brings to 6x6cm square-format negatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eProfessional Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 75mm f\/3.5 prime lens for high-resolution medium format imagery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eBright Heidosmat 75mm f\/3.2 viewing lens for clear, top-down focusing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eSynchro-Compur MXV leaf shutter with speeds from 1s to 1\/500s plus Bulb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eFull flash synchronization at all speeds and built-in self-timer (V-setting)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eWaist-level viewfinder with integrated pop-up magnifier for critical focus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eLarge 6x6cm negative size (120 film) providing 4x the detail of standard 35mm film\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eRobust all-metal German construction with premium leatherette and chrome accents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntroductory Paragraph\u003c\/b\u003e The Rolleicord V is the definitive entry point into professional medium format photography. This specific unit (S\/N: 1319027) represents the final era of the 'classic' Rolleicord design, offering a refined film advance and a decoupled shutter cocking mechanism that prevents accidental double exposures. The 75mm focal length provides a natural perspective, making it incredibly versatile for environmental portraits, architecture, and street photography. Because it uses a leaf shutter, the camera is nearly silent and can be handheld at lower shutter speeds than a traditional SLR. It is a slow, deliberate, and deeply rewarding photographic tool that connects the photographer directly to the art of composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body (S\/N: 1319027) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 75mm f\/3.5 taking lens and Heidosmat 75mm f\/3.2 viewing lens are both optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The Synchro-Compur shutter has been tested and fires accurately across all speeds. The aperture blades are clean and move smoothly. The waist-level finder opens correctly, and the ground glass is bright and clear. The film transport mechanism is fully operational.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The Rolleicord V is a sleeper hit. What I love about this S\/N: 1319027 is the Xenar glass; it’s a 'purer' lens than the Planar in many ways, offering a classic, high-contrast look that makes black and white film really sing. The 'DOP' marking adds a layer of historical intrigue to this specific unit. It’s a very meditative camera to shoot—you look down into the finder, the world appears reversed, and you really take your time with the frame. It’s a rugged, mechanical jewel that will still be taking gallery-quality images another fifty years from now. For the medium format enthusiast, there is simply no substitute for the 'Rolle' experience.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eRolleicord V TLR Camera (S\/N: 1319027)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eIntegrated Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 75mm f\/3.5 Taking Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 120 Roll Film (6x6cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eTaking Lens: 75mm f\/3.5 (Prime Lens)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eViewing Lens: 75mm f\/3.2 (Prime Lens)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eShutter: Synchro-Compur Leaf Shutter (1s - 1\/500s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eFocus Type: Manual Waist-Level Ground Glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
