Recently I bought a Rolleicord Vb White face, serial number 2.677. According John Phillips’ The Classic Rollei, it is one of the latest Rolleicord made, as production ended in January 1977, with last serial number around 2.677.500. So probably the camera was made in November-December 1976. What puzzled me was lens serial number, 11.825.154. Serial # 22000 from 1960-69. 75mm Xenotar 3.5 or Planar 75/3.5 lens. Heidosmat 75mm F2.8 viewing lens. Synchro-Compur shutter MXV 1/500 to 1, B. Optional coupled meter, has detachable hood, improved focus screen, eye level viewing.
