Rolleicord Vb, very clean, very solid mechanicals. Some paint rubbing on back edges. Has the 16 frame, 6x4.5 kit installed. 12 exposure counter disk also included. Simply remove the 16 frame frames and such, install the 12 frame counter, and off you go at 6x6.
Along with it being in very good condition, it has a focus hood for an F. This means that when set for the sports finder, you can focus using the small window below the sports finder opening. Generally I consider that a silly thing, but this is the one case where it makes things work great. Without that, to shoot 6x4.5 at portrait orientation you need to focus in the 'normal' TLR manner, then use the sports finder to frame and expose. The F finder with the focus mirror lets you frame and focus with the camera on its side for portrait orientation with a small shift between sports finder and focus window.
This makes a nice knapsack camera, light, easy, small for a TLR, 6x4.5 Or 6x6, even lighter by at least 4 grams!! I use this as a sketch camera of sorts, easy to try things, have with me most of the time, etc. For some reason, I spend a year or two carrying a sketch camera, then I don't and 6 months later look at the camera and think, well, time to move on. That day has come for this camera. The Rolleiflex E Planar and Kodak Medalist are taking all my limited film stock these days.
Strap not included. Lens cap, lens hood, 12 frame counter included.
$425 including shipping in the US. Other countries, ask.
Any questions, let me know.
