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.

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 😉
