Today’s post is comprised of images I made a couple of days ago, but I only developed and scanned the film tonight. I was testing out a Rolleicord III manufactured between 1950-1953. The Rolleicord is the less featured, but not less well constructed brother of the famous Rolleiflex cameras.
The Rolleiord and Rolleiflex are twin lens reflex cameras or TLRs. There is a lens for viewing and focusing the image and a separate lens for recording the image on 2 1/4 or 120 film.
