Introduction to the Rolleicord Vb Type II Video 1 of 2 14 December 2013
Introduction to the Rolleicord Vb Type II Video 1 of 2 14 December 2013
Franke & Heidecke's Rolleicord lineage ended with the Vb Type II.
When this model's production run ended in 1977, it marked the end of the Rolleicord line.
And what a note to end on.
The Vb Type II contains most of the important pro-grade features and differs from Rolleiflex cameras only in maximum aperture and the lack of a film advance crank.
Every bit as capable of taking stunning pictures as any Rolleflex or other TLR, the Rolleicord line represented a way for camera users to enter the TLR market without having to pay for a top-end Rolleiflex.

Nikon FM
The Nikon FM is a mechanically operated, interchangeable lens, 35 mm film, single-lens reflex (SLR) camera.
It was manufactured in Japan between 1977 and 1982 by Nippon Kogaku K. K.

1960s > Nikon F
The Nikon F camera, introduced in April 1959, was Nikon's first SLR camera.
[ A single-lens reflex camera (SLR) is a camera that typically uses a mirror and prism system (hence "reflex" from the mirror's reflection) that permits the photographer to view through the lens and see exactly what will be captured. With twin lens reflex and rangefinder cameras, the viewed image could be significantly different from the final image.
When the shutter button is pressed on most SLRs, the mirror flips out of the light path, allowing light to pass through to the light receptor and the image to be captured.]
It was one of the most advanced cameras of its day.
Although many of the concepts had already been introduced elsewhere, it was revolutionary in that it was the first to combine them all in one camera.
It was produced until October 1973 and was replaced by the Nikon F2.
Aspects of its design remain in all of Nikon's subsequent SLR cameras, through the current Nikon F6 film and Nikon D5 digital models (which still share its Nikon F-mount for lenses).
The "F" in Nikon F was selected from the term "re-f-lex", since the pronunciation of the first letter "R" is not available in many Asian languages.
That tradition was carried all the way through their top line of Nikon cameras until the introduction of the Nikon D1 (digital) cameras decades later.
Specially modified Nikon F cameras were used in space in the early 1970s aboard the Skylab space station.

The Argus C3 was a low-priced rangefinder camera mass-produced from 1939 to 1966 by Argus in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States.
The camera sold over 2.2 million units, making it one of the most popular American cameras in history.
Due to its shape, size, and weight, it is commonly referred to as "The Brick" by photographers (in Japan its nickname translates as "The Lunchbox").
The most famous 20th-century photographer who used it was Tony Vaccaro, who employed this model during World War II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_C3 - December 31, 2022

Speed Graphic
The Speed Graphic was a press camera produced by Graflex in Rochester, New York.
Although the first Speed Graphic cameras were produced in 1912, production of later versions continued until 1973; with the most significant improvements occurring in 1947 with the introduction of the Pacemaker Speed Graphic (and Pacemaker Crown Graphic, which was one pound [0.45 kg] lighter and lacked the focal plane shutter). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_Graphic

Ikonta Zeiss-Ikon's top product line of folding medium format cameras were badged Ikonta and were generally of superior quality when compared with corresponding folding camera models of Zeiss-Ikon's Nettar product line.
Launched in 1929, they were offered in four models: A, B, C, & D.
The A, B, & C size took 120 film.
The A, B, & C produced negatives in 6x4.5 format, 6x6 format, and 6x9 format, respectively.
The Ikonta D produced larger negatives on either 116 or 616 format film. respectively.
There was also a Baby Ikonta, which used 127 film.
The first series of Ikonta were also labeled the 520 series.
The Ikonta A, B, & C, were also 520, 520/16, and the 520/2,
Around 1940, the 520 series gave way to the 521 series which added a shutter release on the body and a double exposure prevention.
Only the A, B, & C models continued.
In the early 1950s, the 523 was launched for the B & C models.
A chrome top plate with an integral finder and an accessory shoe was added.
The 524 series added an uncoupled rangefinder and was also called the "Mess" Ikonta.
Hubert Nerwin designed the Ikonta 35 for 35mm film.
It was a viewfinder camera.
Nerwin created versions with with rangefinder, the Contina with separate optical viewfinder, and the Contessa with a big optical viewfinder plus superimposed Super-Ikonta-like coupled rangefinder.
The Ikonta 35 and the Contina were soon renamed to Contina and Contina II.
In the United States early Ikontas were sold under the name Ikomat. - 30 April 2020. http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Ikonta

The Ur-Leica UK
The original Leica prototype of 1914 is considered as revolutionary a technological development as the advent of the mobile phone.
Compact and lightweight – a mere 400g – and using 35mm cinematic film, it was small enough to fit into a coat pocket, and rapidly became essential not only to professional photographers but also amateurs, thereby bringing photography into everyday life.

The Kodak Brownie Hawkeye is a Bakelite box camera that takes 12 6x6cm images on 620 film, made in the USA and France by Kodak, between 1949-1961.

USA > Eastman Kodak > cardboard camera > box Brownie
The Brownie was a long-running popular series of simple and inexpensive cameras made by Eastman Kodak. Introduced in 1900, it introduced the snapshot to the masses.
It was a basic cardboard box camera with a simple meniscus lens that took 2 1/4-inch square pictures on 117 roll film.
It was conceived and marketed for sales of Kodak roll films.
Because of its simple controls and initial price of $1 (equivalent to $31 in 2020) along with the low price of Kodak roll film and processing, the Brownie camera surpassed its marketing goal.
It was invented by Frank A. Brownell.
The name comes from the brownies (spirits in folklore) in Palmer Cox cartoons.
Over 150,000 Brownie cameras were shipped in the first year of production.
An improved model, called No. 2 Brownie came in 1901, which produced larger 2-1/4 by 3-1/4 inch photos and cost $2 and was also a huge success.
Brownies were extensively marketed to children, with Kodak using them to popularise photography.
They were also taken to war by soldiers.
As they were ubiquitous, many iconic shots were taken on Brownies.
The cameras continued to be popular, and spawned many varieties, such as a Boy Scout edition in the 1930s.
In 1940, Kodak released the Six-20 Flash Brownie, Kodak's first internally synchronized flash camera, using General Electric bulbs.
In 1957, Kodak produced the Brownie Starflash, Kodak's first camera with a built-in flash.
The Brownie 127 was popular, selling in the millions between 1952 and 1967.
It was a bakelite camera with a simple meniscus lens and a curved film plane to compensate for the deficiencies of the lens.
Another model was the Brownie Cresta sold between 1955 and 1958.
It used 120 film and had a fixed-focus lens.

USA > Kodak No 1 Camera – early images to mark its 125th anniversary UK 2013
The Kodak No 1 camera, launched 125 years ago, was pre-loaded with 100 exposures and required customers to use all the film and then return the camera to Kodak for processing.
The customer then received 100 images, all circles with a diameter of 2.5 inches (6.5cm).
The camera from the Eastman Kodak company was publicised with the famous slogan: You Press the Button, We Do the Rest

square-format Rolleiflex
The "Rolleiflex" name is most commonly used to refer to Rollei's premier line of medium format twin lens reflex (TLR) cameras.
(A companion line intended for amateur photographers, Rolleicord, existed for several decades.)
However, a variety of TLRs and SLRs in medium format, and zone focus, and SLR 35 mm, as well as digital formats have also been produced under the Rolleiflex label.
The 120 roll film Rolleiflex series is marketed primarily to professional photographers.
Rolleiflex cameras have used film formats 117 (Original Rolleiflex), 120 (Standard, Automat, Letter Models, Rollei-Magic, and T model), and 127 (Baby Rolleiflex).
