Can some of you camera afficionatos name some TLRs matching the critera? also, any that use the feature where it locks the shutter and aperature together and uses EV values like on some agfa folders and retinas and zeisses that Ive seen.

thank you

I've seen some Zeiss Ikoflex with Rapid Compurs and old Rolleicords with regular Compurs. I don't recall seeing a TLR with linked shutter and apertures, but I'm no expert in that field.

Several more, like Yashicas, use Copal shutters, which are very similar in design.

Some of the Rollei TLR's like my rolleiflex 3.5E linked the aperture and shutter with EV setting, and my 2.8D model used a synchro compur shutter. I don't have the 3.5E in front of me but wouldn't be shocked if it did too. My Flexaret TLR has them linked but has some other kind of shutter.

That describes my first Rolleiflex -- 3.5C.
My Rolleicord V is marked in EV as one changes the exposure controls, but the shutter speed and aperture levers on the synchro compur do not lock. (the exposure guide on the back on the camera is in EV as is the above Rolleiflex))
