help identifing this Rolleicord

[lubitel]

Hello,

just got this good looking TLR from a coworker. I think it should be version 4 or 5 not quite sure. Can anyone tell me which version exactly and about how much it is worth?

ser. # 15190xx
view lens: Heidosmat 3,2/75
taking lens: Xenar 3,5/75

thanks

With that serial number it should be a V. Very nice cameras. Worth $100-$150, maybe?

SHould be a plain V (fixed finder). Mine was just ~100 further in the serial no.

Excellent machine.

If it is cosmetically good and also works flawlessy, at least 150$ worth.

Thanks for the info. Cosmetically it looks like its been taken good care of. It still had a film in it! which I think is the best thing about getting old cameras. My coworker had no clue that there was a film in there and how he would have taken it out. he was pretty impressed that I knew what to do 😉 I am going to have it developed - cant wait to see some old photos. then I'll shoot a roll or two with it and may be I'll buy it from him. We'll see.

how can I test if the shutter is working? does it only work when the film is in?

and what are the M X V settings?

 

[payasam]

The shutter will work when there's no film in the camera. If the shutter is a Compur Rapid, it might be set for M sync only.

M = flashbulb
X = electronic flash
V = self timer

If you set it to "V" and start it, the flash synch will stop and remain set at X, for electronic flash.
