Such a beautiful camera, and in such perfect condition.
I can't wait to see some pictures from this beauty.

Looks like a new love affair has been launched! I can hardly wait to see the images you capture with this treasure!

I have never used 1 of these. After seeing this image I would really like to. Beautiful.

Well l'm puzzled.
l can't see the serial number or the fil advance
on the right. lt should be a crank handle, not a knob.
What puzzles me is the lack of the two familiar adjustment knobs
between the finder and taking lenses.
The knobs are used to adjust speed and aperture.
On the Rolleicord these adjustments are made by levers
lt looks like a fairly late model 'Flex with the large focusihg knob
and what might be an ASA adjustment for possibly a meter below the name
but the front looks like a Rolleicord.

I think Cindy said it all, Tony. A wonderful piece of equipment!

Thanks for all comments. I am very lucky, it is in as new condition, all the manuals are there, strap has not been used and it is in the original box which is also in good condition.

Wonderful. My K8T3 Tessar is my favourite TLR and produces lovely contrast and tone. You will enjoy it a lot.

I forgot to mention that your T is beautiful and looks to be in really fine shape. The T was produced from 1958 tp 1976. You will be able to date yours by looking online and matching your serial number.
You can download a manual from online if you need it.

Tony, It will take beautiful photos. You might need an external meter. (You can use your dslr for that or get a cellphone app in a pinch.) You will be amazed when you look at the beautiful 6x6 medium format photos. Looking into the viewfinder is a little disconcerting at first, because the image is flipped, but you will soon adjust to that. I had a new strap made for mine because the old leather is usually not trustworthy. I find the strap helps me stabilize my Rolleicord. This is a very fine piece of equipment and worth a CLA (clean, lubricate and adjust) if needed. There are Rollei forums that list folks that do that work. Also, many people put a brighter focus screen in them, but i have not done that to my Rollei yet. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
