Default Back to the Future? Rolleicord Vb

After much procrastination, trawling through on-line classic camera outlets & EBay etc, finally I have laid my hands on something that fulfills a long-held (but until recent, dormant) ambition - to own a Rollei TLR. It arrived this morning and it did not take long this afternoon to put a roll each of HP5+ and FP4+ through it. Hope to develop them this evening. Exciting times (well, for me anyway!)

Great cameras, I have 2 rolleis, a flex automat 4 and a rolleicord Va2 and I use them more than any others, I firmly believe that they are the best TLR's ever made, and the fixed lens is for me a help not a hinderance as I have heard it described, hope you have many hours of pleasure with the camera, Richard

The Rolleicord is a beautiful camera and I think it has more soul than a flex.
