Hello Everyone. I tried to access the analog forum but there was no link to click on. I have a Rolleicord. TLR I believe it is this model. It has the dbg on the top. Rolleicord III - Model K3B. Now I am asking if there is a film setting knob on the camera?. I used it twice and just load the film in the camera no matter what speed the film is. Thanks in advance.

Film speed setting knob. It would let me edit my original thread.

Actually some Rolleicord cameras do have a film speed setting knob -- but they don't do anything.

This screen shot is from the owners manual for a Rolleicord V:
