I am selling a Rolleicord, Xenar 75mm/3.5 model in quite nice cosmetic condition (beautiful really!). A little research indicates this was the Rolleicord IV - Model K3D from the early 50's

All functions appear to work except the slow speeds. The high speeds are fine. Speeds less than 1/10 seem erratic (B is OK).The taking lens looks clean and clear, and even does a good job undergoing the severe flashlight, which does reveal some dust specs. The viewing lens may have some haze, although the focus screen looks good. I have little doubt, that with considered use, this camera will deliver amazing results.

A leather case is included which has a tear in the leather and missing stitching, but it still helps protect the camera and looks attractive.

Price: $199 plus insured USPS shipping. I only accept payment by personal checks, money orders, or cash. No electronic payment of any kind please.

The IV is a great camera, and built like a Sherman tank. From the photos, this seller's 'cord looks very good indeed, and with a little care in its use it will go on going on, making excellent images whether in color or (especially so) B&W), for many years. The "patina" in my B&W negatives from my 'cord (I own a Vb, the next-up model) is unique and very pleasant.

Price is also right. If I was living in 'Merka and had US$$ to play with instead of AUS$$, I would...

Best of luck with this sale. And best of buy to the purchaser.

one nice thing about the v is you can focus with your right hand if that’s appealing to you. flexes always on the left
