- Occasionally, I am asked if I would like to have an ol’ film camera. Free! Just take it. And, it happened recently when attending a ‘Yavapai Digital Arts and Photography Club’ meeting in Prescott. During the meeting, a member stood and expressed for a friend how she wanted to find a new home for this camera, a RolleiCord V she held in her hands. At first my mind was weighting how much she would be asking for it and so I got the information who to call and the next morning I did. She just wanted to find a new home for it and it was mine for the taking. A gift.
And so, in this episode, I talk a bit about this Rolleicord V, a medium-format twin lens reflex camera manufactured by ‘Franke & Heidecke’ in Germany, between October of 1954 and March of 1957. It was the simpler, less expensive version of the high-end Rolleiflex TLR and marketed for the amateur photographers. In addition, I will show you my first time loading the camera with film and share the photographs of my first roll of film.
Film Used:
Kodak TMax 100, 120 film
Developed in Caffenol CM, 15 Minutes, 19.7℃

I hope you enjoy.

Mate, what a lovely watch on a Saturday Morning here in Ireland. Fantastic. Thanks mate.
Appreciate it buddy. Thank you. This Rolleicord V is a keeper, although I'm not quite use to the 1X1 square format. And, finding square photo papers is a bit of a challenge. All in the fun.
Hey Chuck , beautiful camera.
It sure is. Thank you.
Hi, beautiful presentation and video. IMO the viewing lens is not a Zeiss product but a Rollei one. The name Heidosmat points to Franke & Heidecke the Rollei brand owning company. Zeiss Triotar lenses were used as taking lenses up to the Rolleicord III but from the II on they used alternatively Schneider Xenar lenses (Tessar like construction). Also for the Rolleiflex TLRs own production viewing lenses were used together with the Zeiss and Schneider taking lenses, even the 2.8 Zeiss Planar equipped one used a Heidosmat.
Thanks again for presenting your Rolleicord and showing the fine images you made for the production.
Appreciate you sharing the information and thank you for the kind comments. The Rolleicord V is a great little camera to work with and learn a little about TLR photography.
@@ChuckAbles Thanks for replying so promptly. Glad I could be of help with a rather insignificant detail. I have a Rolleicord IIa or so. The V is certainly the pinnacle of the line so please allow the tiniest bit of envy 😉
