Volks Rollei | Rolleicord Vb Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 авг 2024
- You will have to pry my Rolleiflex from my cold, dead hands. But as wonderful as they are to use and the top-notch images, they aren't the cheapest camera. But the folks at Rollei (Franke & Heidecke) realised that the cost of their cameras put them out of reach of many photographers. Enter the Rolleicord, the low-cost TLR. These cameras are often built to a lower spec with different optics, but they are no less of a camera, just different.

Thank you, for almost not butchering all of the German names! Great revue of this wonderfull camera. The shutter releasebutton can be screwed into the hole for the cable release.
Thanks! I try my best to pronounce the names correctly, but can’t get the gutterial sounds right despitey Dutch heritage! Thanks for watching 🍻
@@AlexLuyckxPhoto No worries. It is ok. I shruck when you said a price of a thousand dollars for a Rolleicord. A good scource for Rolleicords on good prices is still the German Ebay site. between 100 and 200 Euros for a Rolleicord are pretty common there. I bought mine in 1999 in Berlin in a used camera store for 50,-DM (ca. 25,- Euros today), with the releasebutton.
Always nice to have a lower cost option that still delivers
For sure! And it does deliver the goods! Thanks for watching 🍻
Nice!
Interesting to hear how the history and changes throughout the years!
My rolleicord III with a upgraded focusing screen gives me a lot of joy!
Yeah, the history of Rollei and their TLRs is fascinating! The III is an overall favourite I've found! Thanks for watching 🍻
Great review and photos. Don’t remember all the club music from your past vids. It’s a bit distracting but you do you.
I really enjoy using my Rolleicord V. It has the cable release socket with a shutter button but I prefer using the shutter cocking lever as you demonstrated. A new focusing screen would be nice addition. Thanks for sharing the video.
They are something special for sure! Thanks for watching 🍻
does someone know how do I use the b mode?
how to start and stop
Set the shutter speed dial to B, then use a cable release to hold open the shutter then release the cable to close it. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🍻
While I'd love to have a Rollei I'll be staying with my Yashica EM and 124G. The meters either don't work or aren't all that trustworthy but I love my handheld meters so that isn't a problem. Still if a nice Rolleicord or Rolleilex fell into my hands I'd use that too. There is just something about the TLR that is hard to beat
There is nothing wrong with Yashica TLRs! My first TLR was a Yashica-12, solid cameras and lenses! And yes, there is a special kind of magic with TLRs. Thanks for watching 🍻
The TLR for real budget-minded shooters, who know what they're doing is going to be the Yashica D. Late models of the Yashica D have the Yashinon, Tessar-type, 80mm f/3.5 taking lens and the 80mm f/2.8 viewing lens. It may not be as hyped as the Rolleicord Vb, but the Yashica D has all the same features, such as separate focusing and film advance knobs, controls for aperture and shutter speed on the lens, and separate cocking lever. The Yashica D takes Bay1 filters and accessories, and also lacks a meter. As good as the Rolleicords are, I think the Yashicas are a better value, especially models like the Yashica D and Yashica 635.
Yashica’s are great TLRs, hidden gems tbh! My first TLR was a Yashica-12! Thanks for watching 🍻
@@AlexLuyckxPhotoYeah, Yashicas are great, but I was specifically talking about the Yashica D, as a direct analogue to the Rolleicord Vb.
Rolleicord may look less fancy then the Rolleiflex, but nevertheless are equally capable performer. If possible, find the soft shutter release. Make shooting more convenient (instead of tripping the shutter-cocking lever).
So true! And good call on the soft release! Thanks for watching 🍻
