Is their a film speed setting knob on a Rolleicord TLR?

[eddyd]

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.

Rolleicord does not have a meter, therefore no film speed setting knob. The only film speed setting that is important is the one on your light meter (or your Sunny-16 estimate).

This is worth reading, if you haven't already:

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. The only function of the ASA knob on a Rolleicord is to remind the user about what film is in the camera. Changing the ASA setting has no effect on anything that happens inside the camera.
